Problem Cause & Solution
I cannot hear a dial tone. L If you used a splitter/coupler to connect the unit, remove the splitter/coupler
and connect the unit to the wall jack directly. If the unit operates properly,
check the splitter/coupler.
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 have connected the fax machine through a computer modem,
connect the fax machine directly to a telephone line jack.
The unit does not work. L Make sure that the cordless handset’s battery is installed correctly (page
16) and fully charge it (page 18).
L Check the connections (page 17).
The unit does not ring. L The night mode feature is turned ON. Turn it OFF (page 24).
L The ringer volume is turned OFF. Adjust it (page 19).
I cannot make calls. L You dialled a call restricted number. Remove the number from the call
restricted list (page 58).
Problem Cause & Solution
The unit displays “PAPER
JAMMED” even though paper
is installed.
L You forced the recording paper into the paper tray too strongly. Remove all
of the installed paper, and re-install it gently.
The unit displays “CHECK
PAPER” even though paper is
inserted.
L The paper is inserted halfway. Insert it correctly (page 75) and press {SET}
to clear the message.
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.

(page 40).
