Troubleshooting
• Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone telephone. When dialing a number,
there should be tones. If there are clicks, then it is not a touch-tone telephone and
cannot activate the answering system.
• The answering system may not detect the remote access code when your
announcement is playing. Wait until the announcement is over before entering
the code.
• There may be interference on the telephone line you are using. Press the dial pad
keys firmly when dialing.
I subscribe to a nontraditional telephone service that uses my
computer to establish connections, and my telephone doesn't work.
• Make sure your computer is powered on.
• Make sure your Internet connection is working properly.
• Make sure that the software is installed and running for your nontraditional
telephone service.
• Make sure to plug your USB telephone adapter into a dedicated USB port on
your computer. Do not plug into a multiple port USB hub (USB splitter) that is
not powered.
• In a few rare instances, the USB port on your computer may not have enough
power. In these instances, try using a USB hub with its own external power supply.
• If you are using a firewall, it may prevent access to your nontraditional telephone
service. Contact your service provider for more information.
Common cure for electronic equipment.
• If the telephone is not responding normally, put the cordless handset in the
telephone base. If it does not respond, try the following (in the order listed):
- Disconnect the power to the telephone base.
- Disconnect the battery on the cordless handset.
- Wait a few minutes before connecting power to the telephone base.
- Completely remove and install the battery again and place the cordless handset in
the telephone base or charger.
- Wait for the cordless handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to
one minute for this to take place.
