Troubleshooting

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 (page 36). 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.

The answering system does not answer after the correct number of rings.

Make sure the answering system is on. When the answering system is on, the

/ANS ON/OFF light on the telephone base should be lit and ANS ON should show on the handset.

If toll saver is selected, the number of rings changes to two when there are new messages waiting (page 15).

If the memory is full or if the answering system is off, the answering system answers after 10 rings.

In some cases, the answering system is affected by the ringing system used by your telephone service provider.

If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your answering system answers before your voicemail answers (page 36). To determine how many rings will activate your voicemail, please contact your local telephone service provider.

If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting the fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine documentation for information on compatibility with answering systems.

The outgoing announcement is not clear.

When recording the announcement, make sure you speak in a normal tone of voice towards the microphone of the handset.

Make sure there is no background noise when recording.

The answering system does not record messages.

Make sure the answering system is on.

When the answering machine memory is full, it does not record new messages until some old messages are deleted.

If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your answering system answers before your voicemail answers (page 36). To determine how many rings will activate your voicemail, please contact your local telephone service provider.
