System does
not answer
after correct
number of rings • Make sure that the answering system is on.
• If Toll Saver is activated, the number of rings changes to 2 when you
have new messages waiting (see page 24).
• In some cases, the system may be affected by the ringing system
used by the local telephone company.
• If the memory is full or the system is off, the system will answer after
10 rings.
“CL” flashes in
message window • You need to reset the answering system clock (see page 21).
Announcement
message is not
clear • When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a
normal tone of voice, about 9 inches from the base.
• Make sure there is no “background” noise (TV, music, etc.) while you
are recording.
System does
not respond
to remote
commands • Make sure to enter your Remote Access Code correctly (see page 28).
• 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 announce-
ment is over before entering the code.
• There may be noise or interference on the phone line you are using.
Press dial-pad buttons firmly.
