Cause & Solution
L If you use a splitter/coupler to connect the unit, remove the splitter/coupler
and connect the unit to the wall jack directly. If the unit operates properly,
check the splitter/coupler.
L Disconnect the unit from the telephone line and connect a known working
telephone. If the working telephone operates properly, contact our service
personnel to have the unit repaired. If the working telephone does not
operate properly, contact your telephone company.
L The power cord or telephone line cord is not connected. Check the
connections.
L If you have connected the fax machine through a computer modem,
connect the fax machine directly to a telephone line jack.
L Check the connections (page 5).
L Make sure that the cordless handset's battery is installed correctly (page 5)
and fully charge it (page 6).
L The ringer volume is turned OFF. Adjust it (page 15).
L You dialled a call restricted number. Remove the number from the call
restricted list (page 48).
L The dialling mode setting may be wrong. Change the setting (feature #13 on
page 41).
Cause & Solution
L FAX ONLY mode is set. Tell the other party the number is only used for
faxes.
L Change the receiving mode to TEL mode (page 30), TEL/FAX mode (page
30) or TAM/FAX mode (page 31).
L If this button is pressed during dialling, a pause will be inserted. If pressed
immediately after a dial tone is obtained, the last number dialled will be
redialled.
L All or part of the number is the same as another code or ID. Change the
number:
– remote operation ID (code): page 38, or feature #11 on page 41.
– fax activation code: feature #41 on page 42.
– auto disconnection code: feature #49 on page 43.
L The memory reception alert of feature #44 is ON (page 43), and the unit has
a document in memory. Press {STOP} to stop the beeps, then see the
displayed message instructions to solve the problem.
L Use the speakerphone in a quiet room.
L If you have difficulty hearing the other party, adjust the volume.
L The called cordless handset is too far from the base unit.
