Common cure 
for electronic 
e�uipment

My caller ID 
features are not 
working properly

•  Caller  ID  is  a  subscription  service.  You  must  subscribe  to 

this  service  from  your  local  telephone  company  for  this 
feature to work on your telephone.

•  The caller may not be calling from an area which supports 

caller ID.

•  Both you and the caller’s telephone companies must use 

e�uipment which are compatible with caller ID service.

•  If you subscribe to DSL service, install a DSL filter to the 

telephone line between the telephone base and the tele-
phone line jack. Contact your DSL service provider for filter 
information.

The system does 
not receive caller 
ID or the system 
does not display 
caller ID during 
call waiting

•  Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting fea-

tures services provided by the local telephone company. 

•  The  caller  may  not  be  calling  from  an  area  which  sup-

ports caller ID.

•  Both you and the caller’s telephone companies must use 

e�uipment which are compatible with caller ID service.

•  If you subscribe to DSL service, install a DSL filter to the 

telephone line between the telephone base and the tel-
ephone  line  jack.  Contact  your  DSL  service  provider  for 
filter information.

Troubleshooting

The announce-
ment message is 
not clear

•  When recording the announcement, make sure you speak 

in a normal tone of voice about nine inches from the tel-
ephone base.

•  Make sure there is no background noise (television, music, 

traffic, etc.) when recording.
