Cause & Solution
L The telephone line cord is connected to the [EXT] jack on the unit. Connect
to the [LINE] jack (page 15).
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 (page 15).
L If you connected the unit through a computer modem, connect the unit
directly to a telephone line jack.
L The dialing mode setting may be wrong. Change the setting (feature #120
on page 16).
L The ringer volume is turned OFF. Adjust it (page 19).

faxes.
L If you use a Distinctive Ring service, make sure you have set the same ring
pattern assigned by the telephone company (page 49).

immediately after a dial tone is obtained, the last number dialed will be
redialed.
L Distinctive Ring is set (feature #430 on page 49).
