Troubleshooting
Incomplete
messages.
• If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may
be lost when the system disconnects the call after
four minutes.
• 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 a
message, the system stops recording and
disconnects the call.
• If the caller's voice is very soft, the system may stop
recording and disconnects the call.
Difficulty hearing
messages.

VOLUME
ST
to increase speaker volume.
System does not
answer after
correct number of
rings.
• Make sure that the answering system is on (page 15
or page 39).
• If toll saver is on, the number of rings changes to
two when you have new messages stored (page 17).
• If the memory is full or the system is off, the system
answers after 10 rings.
System
announces
“Time
and day not set.”
• You need to reset the answering system clock (page

respond to remote
commands.
• Make sure you enter your remote access code
correctly (page 18).
• Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone phone.
When you dial a number, you should hear tones. If
you hear clicks, the phone is not a touch-tone
telephone and cannot activate the answering
system.
• The answering system might not detect the remote
access code while your announcement is playing.
Try waiting until the announcement is over before
entering the code.
• There may be interference on the phone line you
are using. Press dial pad keys firmly.
