Troubleshooting

Your telephone line cord might be defective. Try installing a new telephone line cord.

My caller ID isn’t working.

Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from your telephone service provider for this feature to work on your telephone.

Your caller must be calling from an area that supports caller ID.

Both your and your caller’s telephone service providers must use caller ID compatible equipment.

Make sure the home area code is set correctly in the telephone (see Home area code on page 14).

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line and the telephone wall jack (see Telephone base installation on page 4). The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

My telephone does not receive caller ID when on a call.

Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features provided by your telephone service provider. Caller ID features work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment.

A icon shows on the display and I don’t know why.

Your telephone has voicemail indication that is separate from the built-in answering system. If appears on the display, then your telephone has received a signal from your telephone service provider that you have a voicemail message waiting for you to retrieve from your telephone service provider. Contact your telephone service provider for more information on how to access your voicemail.

I cannot retrieve voicemail messages.

Your telephone has both a built-in answering system and voicemail indication. They are independent features and each alerts you to new messages differently (see Answering system and voicemail on page 41). If you subscribe to voicemail service from your telephone service provider (charges may apply), contact your telephone service provider for more information on how to access your voicemail.

Incomplete messages.

If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the answering system disconnects the call after four minutes.
