Questions About the DVR's Phone Calls, Phone Setup, then Phone Connection

Page 142 highlights

Questions About the DVR's Phone Calls • If you have call waiting, go to "Messages & Setup," then "Recorder & Phone Setup," then "Phone Connection," then "Change Dialing Options." Disable call waiting by entering the correct prefix in Call Waiting Prefix (usually *70,). • If you dial a prefix for outside lines, go to "Messages & Setup," then "Recorder & Phone Setup," then "Phone Connection," then "Change Dialing Options." Set a Dial Prefix-for example, "9," (nine, followed by a comma for a pause). • Your phone line may have low voltage. Try setting Phone avail. detection to Off under Dialing Options, described on page 101. • If you have a caller ID box, try removing it from the line since some models interfere with the DVR modem's ability to make a call. • If your DVR is having difficulty dialing out, try the following: Press LEFT arrow until you return to the Phone Dialing Options screen. Select Set Dial Prefix, and enter the dialing prefix ",#034" (comma, pound, zero, three, four). Use the PAUSE button to enter a comma, and the ENTER button to enter a pound. This command sets the DVR's modem to a slower speed, which helps phone calls succeed in some environments. The DVR does not dial the prefix as part of the number. • If you have a cordless telephone, fax machine, or computer modem connected to the same line, go to "Messages & Setup," then "Recorder & Phone Setup," then "Phone 8 Connection," then "Change Dialing Options." Turn off "Phone avail. detection." • You might have too much line noise to make a connection. The DVR ships with a 25 foot phone cord. Try a shorter cord, or buy a line noise filter at your local electronics store. 133

If you have call waiting, go to “Messages & Setup,” then “Recorder & Phone Setup,”
then “Phone Connection,” then “Change Dialing Options.” Disable call waiting by
entering the correct prefix in Call Waiting Prefix (usually *70,).
If you dial a prefix for outside lines, go to “Messages & Setup,” then “Recorder &

Prefix—for example, “9,” (nine, followed by a comma for a pause).
Your phone line may have low voltage. Try setting Phone avail. detection to Off under

If your DVR is having difficulty dialing out, try the following: Press LEFT arrow until
you return to the Phone Dialing Options screen. Select Set Dial Prefix, and enter the
