Troubleshooting
System announces, “Time and day not set.”
•  You need to reset the system clock (page 12).
Outgoing announcement is not clear.
•  When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a normal 
tone of voice, about nine inches from the handset.
•  Make sure there is no background noise (TV, music, etc.) while recording.
New voicemail and   shows on the handset display, and I don’t know why.
• 
Your telephone has both a built-in answering system and voicemail 
indication. If New voicemail and   appear on the handset display, then 
your telephone has received a signal from your telephone service provider 
that you have a voicemail message waiting for you to retrieve from them. 
Contact your telephone service provider for more information on how to 
access your voicemail.
I cannot retrieve voicemail messages.
• 
Your telephone has both a built-in answering system and voicemail 
indication. They are independent features and each alerts you to new 
messages differently (page 40). If you subscribe to voicemail service from 
your telephone service provider, contact your telephone service provider 
for more information on how to access your voicemail.
I subscribe to a nontraditional telephone service that uses my computer 
to establish connections, and my telephone doesn’t work.
Make sure your computer is powered on.
Make sure your Internet connection is working properly.
Make sure that the software is installed and running for your nontraditional 
telephone service. 
Make sure to plug your USB telephone adapter into a dedicated USB 
port on your computer. Do not plug it into a multiple port USB hub (USB 
splitter) that is not powered.
In a few rare instances, the USB port on your computer may not have 
enough power. Try using a USB hub with its own external power supply.
If you are using a firewall, it may prevent access to your nontraditional 
telephone service provider. Contact your service provider for more information.
