Appendix
Troubleshooting
The private mailbox is recording incomplete messages.
•
If the message length is not set to unlimited and a caller leaves a very
long message, part of it may be lost when the system disconnects the call
after the set message length. See Message Length on page 70 for details.
•
If the caller pauses for longer than seven seconds, the system stops
recording and disconnects the call.
•
If the system's memory becomes full during message recording, the system
stops recording and disconnects the call.
•
If the caller's voice is very soft, the system may stop recording and
disconnect the call.
I have difficulty hearing messages.
•
Press
/VOLUME to increase the speaker volume on the deskset.
The answering system does not respond to remote access commands.
•
Make sure you are using the correct remote access code (page 69).
•
Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone telephone (away from home).
When dialing a number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks, then it is
not a touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system.
•
The answering system might not detect the remote access code when
your announcement is playing. Wait until the announcement is over before
entering the code.
•
There might 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 it 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. 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 provider. Contact your service provider for more
information.
