I cannot hear a dial tone. R The telephone line cord is connected to the [EXT] jack on the unit. Connect
to the [LINE] jack (page 11).
R If you use 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.
R 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.

connections (page 11).

directly to a telephone line jack.

on page 17).
The unit does not ring. R The ringer volume is turned OFF. Adjust it (page 20).
The other party complains
they only hear a fax tone and
cannot talk. R FAX ONLY mode is set (page 43). Tell the other party the number is only
used for faxes.

Problem Cause & Solution

automatically. R Your greeting message on the answering machine is too long. Shorten the
message. Record a message less than 10 seconds long.
R The answering machine rings too many times. Set to 1 or 2 rings.
I cannot receive voice
messages. R Check if the answering machine is turned ON and connected to the unit
properly (page 45).
R Set the number of rings on the answering machine to 1 or 2.
I pressed the remote access
code to access the answering
machine remotely, but the line
was disconnected. R The code may include “#” which is used for certain features provided by

another number which does not include “#”.
