• Make sure that the answering system is on (page 14
or 36).
• If toll saver is activated, the number of rings changes
to two when you have new messages stored (page
16).
• If the memory is full or the system is off, the system
answers after 10 rings.
• You need to reset the answering system clock (see
page 11).
• Make sure to enter your remote access code
correctly (page 17).
• 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 announcement is over before
entering the code.
• There may be interference on the phone line you are
using. Press dial pad keys firmly.
• Make sure the answering system is on (page 14 or
36).
• Make sure the memory of the answering system is
not full.
• When you record your announcement, make sure you
speak in a normal tone of voice, about nine inches
from the telephone base.
• Make sure there is no background noise (TV, music,
etc.) while recording.
