In Case Of Difficulty
If the Answering System does not record messages:
•
Make sure the Answering System is On. (Answer ON/OFF key is glowing.)
•
Make sure Announce Only feature is set to OFF.
If the system does not respond to commands from a remote touch tone phone:
• Make sure you are calling from a touch tone phone. When you dial a
number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks instead, the phone is not
a touch tone telephone.
The answering system may not delect the Remote Access Code while your
announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is over before
entering the code.
• Make sure you enter your Remote Access Code correctly.
• There may be noise or interference on the phone line you are using. Press
keys firmly.
If your outgoing announcement isn't clear:
• When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a normal
tone of voice, about nine inches from the base.
• Make sure there is no "background" noise (TV, music, etc.) while you
are recording.
