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 21).
L
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.
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 unit through a computer modem, connect the
unit directly to a telephone line jack.
I cannot make calls.
L
The dialing mode setting may be wrong. Change the setting
(feature #120 on page 22).
The unit does not ring.
L
The ringer volume is turned OFF. Adjust it (page 23).
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
If you use a Distinctive Ring service, make sure you have set the
same ring pattern assigned by the telephone company (page 42).
The
{
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 #430 on page 42).
The unit beeps.
L
The memory reception alert of feature #437 is ON (page 63), and
the unit has a document in memory. Press
{
STOP
}
to stop the
beeps, then see the displayed message instructions to solve the
problem.
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 #434 on page 63).
The output tray becomes
full quickly or the
recording paper does not
stack properly on the
output tray.
L
High humidity may cause the recording paper to curl. Try turning
the paper over and re-inserting it. If the curl on the paper is heavy,
please remove it from the output tray. If you still have this problem,
contact our service personnel.
