Problem
Cause & Solution
I cannot hear a dial tone.
L
The telephone line cord is connected to the
[EXT]
jack on the unit.
Connect to the
[LINE]
jack (page 17).
L
If you use a splitter to connect the unit, remove the splitter and
connect the unit to the wall jack directly. If the unit operates
properly, check the splitter.
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.

If you connected the fax machine through a computer modem,
connect the fax machine directly to a telephone line jack.
I cannot make calls.

The dialling mode setting may be wrong. Change the setting
(feature #13 on page 42).
The unit does not ring.

The ringer volume is turned OFF. Adjust it (page 18).
Problem
Cause & Solution
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 to TEL mode by pressing
{
AUTO ANSWER
}
.
L
If you use a Distinctive Ring service, make sure you have set the
same ring pattern assigned by the telephone company (page 38).
The
{
REDIAL/PAUSE
}
button does not function
properly.
L
If this button is pressed during dialling, a pause will be inserted. If
pressed immediately after a dial tone is obtained, the last number
dialled will be redialled.
The receiving mode does
not function properly.
L
The Distinctive Ring is set (feature #31 on page 38).
During programming, I
cannot enter the code or
ID number.

All or part of the number is the same. Change the number: feature
#12 (page 42) and #41 (page 43).
The unit beeps.
L
Recording paper has run out. Press
{
STOP
}
to stop the beeps and
install paper.
Whenever I try to retrieve
my voice mail messages, I
am interrupted by the fax
tone.
L
You are probably entering
{*}
{#}
{
9
}
. This is the default setting
for the fax activation code. If you use a voice mail service, turn the
fax activation feature OFF or reprogram the activation code
(feature #41 on page 43).
