In case of difficulty
The outgoing announce-
ment is not clear.
The answering sys-
tem does not record
messages.
Some messages on the
answering system are
cut off.
• When recording the announcement, make sure
you speak in a normal tone of voice about nine
inches from the telephone base.
• If HEADSET is selected in the AUTOMATIC MODE
menu and a headset is connected on the telephone,
you need to speak into the microphone of the
headset to record the announcement (page 39 of
the installation guide).
• Make sure there is no background noise (television,
music, traffic, etc.) when recording.
• Make sure the answering system is on (page 65
of the installation guide).
• If the memory is full, the system will announce
"Memory full" then hang up. You need to delete
some old messages in order to make room for
new messages.
• If GREETING ONLY is selected in the MESSAGE
LENGTH menu, the answering system will only
play back the outgoing announcement. It will not
record incoming private message (page 68).
• If you subscribe to the Centrex service provided
by your local telephone company, make sure
the ANSWER DELAY time (page 66) is
shorter than the CSL DELAY RING time on
the same telephone (page 75 of the installation
guide).
• If a caller reaches the maximum recording
time you set for each message (page 60 of the
installation guide), the system will disconnect
and part of the message may be lost.
• If the caller pauses for more than seven seconds,
the system stops recording and disconnects the call.
• If the memory on the system becomes full during a
message, the system stops recording and disconnects
the call.
• If the caller's voice is very soft, the system may
stop recording and disconnect the call.
• If the DTAD INTERCEPT feature is on and
another telephone answers the call on that
line, the message will stop recording (page 69).
