Machine blinking CL. Phone rings and answering machine not picking up
When the Radio Shack TAD-1005 is blinking "CL" and not picking up calls, it likely indicates a problem with the unit's setup or connections. Possible causes include:
- The TAD is not set to answer calls. Remedy: Press ON/OFF to enable answering.
- The phone line is not properly connected. Remedy: Check all phone line connections.
- The TAD is not plugged into the wall outlet. Remedy: Make sure the AC adapter is properly connected.
- There is not enough memory to record a message. Remedy: Erase messages.
The "CL" blink may also signal a clock or setup issue, though it is not explicitly defined in the context.
