listed have been ruled out, try connecting the
unit to a standard residential telephone line.

Some telephone systems will not allow the
telephone to ring beyond 4 rings. If your
Model 1108’s Rings Until Answer is set at
more than 4 rings, you may not be able to
access the unit. Try setting the Rings Until
Answer to less than 4 rings. If this does not
correct the problem, it may indicate telephone
line incompatibility. In this case, try
connecting the Model 1108 to a standard,
residential telephone line.
