calls.

Check the connections (p. 18).

 

 

If you used a splitter to connect the unit, remove the

 

 

 

splitter and connect the unit to the wall jack directly. If the

 

unit operates properly, check the splitter.

 

 

I cannot make calls.

The dialling mode setting is wrong. Change the setting of

 

 

 

feature #13 (p. 58) (KX-FL501AL only).

 

 

The unit does not work.

Disconnect the unit from the telephone line and connect

 

 

 

the line to a known working telephone. If the working

 

telephone operates properly, contact our service personnel

 

to have the unit repaired. If the working telephone does not

 

operate properly, contact your telephone company.

 

 

The unit does not ring.

The ringer volume is set to off. Adjust it (p. 23).

If this button is pressed during dialling, a pause will be

Problem

Cause & solution

 

 

I cannot send documents.

The telephone line cord is connected to the EXT jack on

 

 

the unit. Connect to the LINE jack (p. 18).

 

The other party’s fax machine is busy or has run out of

 

 

recording paper. Try again.

 

The other party’s machine is not a facsimile. Check with

 

 

the other party.
