Problem

The unit does not ring.
8.3.2 General
Problem
The other party complains
they only hear a fax tone and
cannot talk.
The {REDIAL/PAUSE} button
does not function properly.
The receiving mode does not
function properly.
During programming, I
cannot enter the code or ID
number.
The unit beeps.
The recording paper does not
stack properly on the paper
stacker.
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.
L If you connected the fax machine through a computer modem, connect the
fax machine directly to a telephone line jack.
L The dialling mode setting may be wrong. Change the setting (feature #13 on
page 16).
L The ringer volume is turned OFF. Adjust it (page 17).
Cause & Solution
L FAX ONLY mode is set. Tell the other party the number is only used for
faxes.
L Change to TEL mode (page 33) or TEL/FAX mode (page 34).
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 Distinctive Ring is set (feature #31 on page 37).
L All or part of the number is the same. Change the number: feature #41
(page 43) and #49 (page 44).
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 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 paper stacker. If you still have this problem, contact our service
personnel.
