10.3.1 Initial settings
10.3.2 General
Problem
Cause & Solution
I cannot hear a dial tone.
L
If you used a splitter/coupler to connect the unit, remove the
splitter/coupler and connect the unit to the wall jack directly. If the
unit operates properly, check the splitter/coupler.
L
Disconnect the unit from the telephone line and connect a known
working telephone. If the working telephone operates properly,
contact our service personnel to have the unit repaired. If the
working telephone does not operate properly, contact your
telephone company.
L
The power cord or telephone line cord is not connected. Check the
connections.
L
If you connected the fax machine through a computer modem,
connect the fax machine directly to a telephone line jack.
I cannot make calls.
L
The dialing mode setting may be wrong. Change the setting
(feature #13 on page 79, or feature 051 on page 88).
The unit does not work.
L
Check if the battery is installed correctly (page 18).
L
Check the connections (page 20).
L
Fully charge the battery (page 23).
The unit does not ring.
L
The ringer volume is turned OFF. Adjust it (page 28, 29).
L
If more than one other user is using the handsets and base unit,
the handset/base unit may not ring. Those users will hear incoming
call tones (feature #73 on page 83, feature 13 on page 88 or
feature 0
*
2 on page 90).
Problem
Cause & Solution
The unit displays “
CHECK
PAPER
” even though
paper is inserted.
L
The paper is inserted halfway. Insert it correctly (page 17) and
press
{
START
}
to clear the message.
The other party complains
they only hear a fax tone
and cannot talk.
L
FAX ONLY mode is set. Tell the other party the number is only used
for faxes.
L
Change the receiving mode to TEL mode (page 58), TAM/FAX
mode (page 59) or TAM ONLY mode (page 61).
L
If you use a Distinctive Ring service, make sure you have set the
same ring pattern assigned by the telephone company (page 63).
The
{
REDIAL/PAUSE
}
button does not function
properly.
L
If this button is pressed during dialing, a pause will be inserted. If
pressed immediately after a dial tone is obtained, the last number
dialed will be redialed.
The receiving mode does
not function properly.
L
Distinctive Ring is set (feature #31
*
and feature #31# on page
81).
During programming, I
cannot enter the code or
ID number.
L
All or part of the number is the same as another code or ID.
Change the number:
–
remote operation ID (code): feature #11 on page 79, or feature
063 on page 89,
–
fax activation code: feature #41 on page 82.
