• If you have call waiting, go to “ Messages & Setup ,” then “ Recorder & Phone Setup ,”
then “
Phone Connection
,” then “
Change Dialing Options
.” Disable call waiting by
entering the correct prefix in Call Waiting Prefix (usually *70,).
•
If you dial a prefix for outside lines, go to “
Messages & Setup
,” then “
Recorder &
Phone Setup
,” then “
Phone Connection
,” then “
Change Dialing Options
.” Set a Dial
Prefix—for example, “9,” (nine, followed by a comma for a pause).
• Your phone line may have low voltage. Try setting Phone avail. detection to Off under
Dialing Options, described on page 102.
• If you have a caller ID box, try removing it from the line since some models interfere
with the DVR modem's ability to make a call.
•
If your DVR is having difficulty dialing out, try the following: Press LEFT arrow until
you return to the Phone Dialing Options screen. Select Set Dial Prefix, and enter the
dialing prefix “,#034” (comma, pound, zero, three, four). Use the PAUSE button to
enter a comma, and the ENTER button to enter a pound. This command sets the
DVR’s modem to a slower speed, which helps phone calls succeed in some
environments. The DVR does not dial the prefix as part of the number.
•
If you have a cordless telephone, fax machine, or computer modem connected to the
same line, go to “
Messages & Setup
,” then “
Recorder & Phone Setup
,” then “
Phone
Connection
,” then “
Change Dialing Options
.” Turn off “Phone avail. detection.”
•
You might have too much line noise to make a connection. The DVR ships with a 25
foot phone cord. Try a shorter cord, or buy a line noise filter at your local electronics
store.
