Problem
Cause & Solution
I cannot hear a dial tone.
L
The telephone line cord is connected to the [EXT] jack on the unit. 
Connect to the [LINE] jack (page 7).
L
If you use a splitter to connect the unit, remove the splitter and 
connect the unit to the wall jack directly. If the unit operates 
properly, check the splitter.
L
Disconnect the unit from the telephone line and connect a known 
working telephone. If the working telephone operates properly, 
contact our service personnel to have the unit repaired. If the 
working telephone does not operate properly, contact your 
telephone company.
L
The power cord or telephone line cord is not connected. Check the 
connections.
L
If you connected the fax machine through a computer modem, 
connect the fax machine directly to a telephone line jack.
I cannot make calls.

The dialling mode setting may be wrong. Change the setting (page 
19)
.
The unit does not ring.

The night mode feature is turned ON. Turn it OFF (page 32, 32).

Problem
Cause & Solution
The other party complains 
they only hear a fax tone 
and cannot talk.
L
FAX ONLY mode is set. Tell the other party the number is only used 
for faxes.
L
Change the receiving mode to TAM/FAX mode (page 48), TEL 
mode (page 46) or TEL/FAX mode (page 47).
L
If you use a Distinctive Ring service, make sure you have set the 
same ring pattern assigned by the telephone company (page 52).
The {REDIAL/PAUSE} 
button does not function 
properly.
L
If this button is pressed during dialling, a pause will be inserted. If 
pressed immediately after a dial tone is obtained, the last number 
dialled will be redialled.
The receiving mode does 
not function properly.
L
The Distinctive Ring is set (feature #31, page 52).
During programming, I 
cannot enter the code or 
ID number.
L
All or part of the numbers are the same as another code or ID. 
Change the number:
remote operation ID: feature #11 on page 63.
fax activation code: feature #41 on page 65.
auto disconnection code: feature #49 on page 65.
The speakerphone is not 
working.
L
Use the speakerphone in a quiet room.

If you have difficulty hearing the other party, adjust the volume.
