Troubleshooting
Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone telephone. When dialing a number,
there should be tones. If there are clicks, then it is not a touch-tone telephone and
cannot activate the answering system.
The answering system may not detect the remote access code when your
announcement is playing. Wait until the announcement is over before entering
the code.
There may be interference on the telephone line you are using. Press the dial pad
keys rmly when dialing.
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 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. In these instances, try using a USB hub with its own external power supply.
If you are using a rewall, it may prevent access to your nontraditional telephone
service. Contact your service provider for more information.
Common cure for electronic equipment.
If the telephone is not responding normally, put the cordless handset in the
telephone base. If it does not respond, try the following (in the order listed):
- Disconnect the power to the telephone base.
- Disconnect the battery on the cordless handset.
- Wait a few minutes before connecting power to the telephone base.
- Completely remove and install the battery again and place the cordless handset in
the telephone base or charger.
- Wait for the cordless handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to
one minute for this to take place.
