charger. If it does not seem to respond, do the following (in
the order listed):
• Disconnect the power to the telephone base.
• Disconnect the cordless handset battery, and spare
battery, if applicable.
• Wait a few minutes.
• Connect power to the telephone base.
• Re-install the battery, and place the cordless handset
into the telephone base.
• Wait for the cordless handset to re-establish its
connection with the telephone base. Allow up to one
minute for this to take place.

Troubleshooting
Appendix D
System does
not respond
to remote
commands.
• Make sure to enter your remote access code correctly
(page 60).
• Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone phone.
When you dial a number, you should hear tones. If you
hear clicks, the phone is not a touch-tone telephone and
cannot activate the answering system.
• The answering system may not detect the remote access
code while your announcement is playing. Try waiting
until the announcement is over before entering
the code.
• There may be interference on the phone line you are
using. Press dial pad keys firmly.
