Replace batteries.
Q: It’s not announcing calls or messages
Make sure the volume is set correctly (see ADJUST VOLUME mode)
Call the telephone company to make sure caller ID service has been activated
and is working with your line properly.
Make sure the batteries are good or the power cord is correctly plugged in.
Make sure the phone line coming from the wall is going to the LINE jack on the
unit and the phone cord coming from your phone is going to the PHONE jack
on the unit.
Let the phone ring twice before answering, as caller ID information is
announced between the first and second rings.
If you see the words DATA ERROR it means the message is not being
properly received by your unit. This could be a problem with the phone
company’s service or with your unit. Check your connections first.
