Recorder & Phone Setup
Set Tone/Pulse.
If your phone system uses pulse dialing, rather than tone dialing, you
can change the setting to pulse here. (Today, most phone systems are tone.)
Set “Phone Avail.” Detection.
When Set ‘Phone Avail.’ Detection is on, the recorder
can determine whether the phone line is in use by detecting voltage on the line. This
allows it to avoid disrupting a call in progress (such as another modem call).
This setting is off by default. With ‘Phone Avail.’ Detection turned off, if you are on
the phone when the recorder tries to call, you may hear a click on the line. If you have
another modem call in progress (on your computer or other device), that call may be
disrupted if the recorder attempts to call the TiVo service. If you have a standard dial-
tone, and ‘Phone Avail.’ Detection is off, turn on Dial Tone Detection (below).
If you are experiencing “Failed, Line unavailable” errors, or if the recorder is not
making daily calls, you may have a low-voltage phone system that the recorder cannot
detect. In this case, it’s best to have ‘Phone Avail.’ Detection off.
Set Dial Tone Detection.
This setting is on by default. If you leave it on, the recorder
will check for a dial tone before it starts dialing. However, if you have a non-standard
dial tone, or a stuttering dial tone (as some voice messaging systems have), the
recorder will be unable to detect the dial tone and will not make its daily call.
Restore previous options.
The recorder must make a successful test phone call before
it will accept changes to Phone Dialing Options. If you want to restore your previous
dialing options and continue past this screen without making a test phone call, select
“Restore previous options.”
