• The system can accept messages up to three minutes long. If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it might be lost when the system disconnects the call after three minutes.
• If the caller pauses for more than seven seconds, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.
• If the system’s memory fills up during a message, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.
System Does Not Answer After Correct Number of Rings
• If the Toll Saver feature is on, the number of rings changes from four to two when you have new messages waiting.
• In some cases, the system might be affected by the ringing system used by the local telephone company.
• If the system’s memory is full or the system is off, the system answers after 10 rings.
System Will Not Record Messages
When memory is full and the Message Window displays
F, saved messages must
be deleted before new messages can be recorded.
System Does Not Respond To Remote Commands
• Make sure you are calling from a touch tone phone. When you dial a number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks instead, the phone is not a touch tone telephone.
• The answering system may not detect the Remote Access Code while your announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is over before entering the code.
• There may be noise interference on the phone line you are using. Press dial buttons firmly.
• Make sure you are entering your Remote Access Code correctly.
• You might be calling from a phone that sends tones too short for your answering system to detect.
