Troubleshooting

The answering system 
does not record         
messages (1080 only).

•  If a caller reaches the maximum recording time 

you set for each message (see the 

LENGTH section on the 1080 user’s manual), 
the system disconnects and part of the 
message may be lost.

•  If the caller pauses for more than seven 

seconds, the system stops recording and 
disconnects the call.

•  If the memory on the system becomes full 

during a message, the system stops recording 
and disconnects the call.

•  If the caller’s voice is very soft, the system may 

stop recording and disconnect the call.

•  If the 

DTAD INTERCEPT feature is on and 

another telephone answers the call on that line, 
the message stops recording (see the 

INTERCEPT section on the 1080 user’s manual).

Some messages on the 
answering system are 
cut off (1080 only).

•  Make sure the answering system is on.
•  If the memory is full, the system announces 

"Memory full" and then hangs up. You need to 
delete some old messages in order to make 
room for new messages.

•  If 

GREETING ONLY is selected in the MESSAGE 

LENGTH menu, the answering system only 
plays back the outgoing announcement. It does 
not record incoming private messages. (See the 
MESSAGE LENGTH section on the 1080 user’s 
manual.)

•  If you subscribe to the Centrex service provided 

by your local telephone company, make sure 
the 

ANSWER DELAY time (see the ANSWER 

DELAY section on the 1080 user’s manual) is 
shorter than the 

CSL DELAY RING time on the 

same telephone (see the 

CSL DELAY RING 

section on the user’s manual).
