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. To determine
how many rings 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 messages on the answering system are incomplete.
If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the answering
system disconnects the call after the preset recording time.
If the memory on the answering system becomes full during a message, the
answering system stops recording and disconnects the call.
If the caller’s voice is very soft, the answering system may stop recording and
disconnect the call.
