fic, etc.) when recording.

Troubleshooting
The answering
system does not
respond to remote
commands.
• Make sure your remote access code is correct (page 38).
• Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone telephone. When
dialing a number, you should hear tones. If you hear 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 announce-
ment is over before entering the code.
• There may be interference on the telephone line you are using.
Press the dial pad keys firmly when dialing.
“Time and day not
set”
prompts.
• You need to set the answering system clock (page 36).
