The answering machine does not answer after the
correct number of rings.
• Make sure that the answering machine is on.
ANS ON should show on the cordless handset and
ANS
light on the telephone base should be on.
• If toll saver is activated, the number of rings
changes to two when you have new messages
stored.
• If the memory is full or the machine is off, the
machine will answer after 10 rings.
• In some cases, the answering machine is affected
by the ringing system used by your telephone
service provider.
• If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the
number of rings so that your answering machine
answers before your voicemail answers. To
determine how many rings activate your voicemail,
contact your telephone service provider.
• If there is a fax machine connected to the same
telephone line, try disconnecting the fax machine. If
that solves the problem, consult your
fax machine documentation for information on
compatibility with
answering machine.
