line. Call your telephone company to make sure that you have a touch-tone service and not pulse/
rotary dialing service.

company. If you simply subscribe to the separate Call Waiting and Caller ID services, you will not
receive Call Waiting Caller ID information.
2.
Turn the TA-160’s Call Waiting Caller ID option on. (see page 8)

No Caller ID data is displayed

services have been activated. Caller ID information will be received within the first two rings.
Recorded messages are cut off.
The TA-160 is designed to disconnect from the line after a caller stops talking. Calls may be cut off if a
four-second pause is detected, if the caller does not speak loud enough, or if the message is less than
four seconds in length.
The TA-160 does not respond when you enter your remote access code during the greeting.
Try re-entering the correct code after the beep.
My incoming messages, greetings and Caller ID information were erased.
Disconnection of the AC Adapter from the back of the unit will cause the TA-160 to lose all recorded
messages, greetings and Caller ID information. This is a built-in feature to assist in troubleshooting any
machine problems. Make sure that you have looped the power cord throught the AC Adaptor Cord
Holder on the back of the unit to prevent accidental disconnection.
Between messages there is an operator recording or a beep and dial tone.
The caller has hung up without leaving a message. A shorter greeting will reduce the frequency of
these recordings.
You have more than one telephone number and are experiencing difficulty.
See Multi-Line Installation, page 36.
