Cause & Solution
L The telephone line cord is connected to the [EXT] jack on the unit.
Connect to the [LINE] jack (page 21).
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 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 22).
L The ringer volume is turned OFF. Adjust it (page 23).
Cause & Solution
L FAX ONLY mode is set. Tell the other party the number is only used
for faxes.
L If you use a Distinctive Ring service, make sure you have set the
same ring pattern assigned by the telephone company (page 42).
L If this button is pressed during dialing, a pause will be inserted. If
pressed immediately after a dial tone is obtained, the last number
dialed will be redialed.
L Distinctive Ring is set (feature #430 on page 42).
L The memory reception alert of feature #437 is ON (page 63), 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 You are probably entering {*} {#} {9}. This is the default setting
for the fax activation code. If you use a voice mail service, turn the
fax activation feature OFF or reprogram the activation code
(feature #434 on page 63).
L High humidity may cause the recording paper to curl. Try turning
the paper over and re-inserting it. If the curl on the paper is heavy,
please remove it from the output tray. If you still have this problem,
contact our service personnel.
