The remote voice

control feature

does not work.

Due to the settings of certain

cell phones and voice apps,

your cell phone may not

support the remote voice

control feature. Contact your

cell phone’s manufacturer or

network carrier, or check the

voice app’s help topics if you

encounter any problems.

The remote

voice control

feature ends

unexpectedly

while it is in use.

The Bluetooth function of your

cell phone may be off, or you

may have moved your cell

phone out of Bluetooth range

of the telephone base. Make

sure the Bluetooth function of

your cell phone is turned on

and place your cell phone next

to the telephone base.

The data or Wi-Fi connection

of your cell phone may be lost.

Make sure your cell phone’s

data or Wi-Fi signal is in full

strength.

The feature may be ended

automatically by your cell

phone. For example, a cell call

has been established via the

remote voice control feature

and the call has just ended.

If you receive a landline or

cell line incoming call when

you have activated remote

voice control on a connected

cell phone, the remote voice

control operation will be

ended.

The voice-controlled

application of your cell phone

may be affected by other

cell phone operations in the

background. If the problem

persists, contact your cell

phone’s network carrier.

I cannot press

any dialing keys

(

0-9

,

,

)

when I am on

a cell call using

the remote voice

control feature.

When you press the dialing

keys on the handset or

telephone base during a cell

call using the remote voice

control feature, the telephone

system may have no response

and the call may be ended.

Please use the cell lines of

your telephone system for calls

that require using the dialing

keys during the call.

Use the built-in answering system

and voicemail service

You can use your answering system and

voicemail service together by setting your

answering system to answer before voicemail

service answers as described below. To

learn how to program your voicemail settings,

contact your telephone service provider.

If you are on a call, or if the answering system

is busy recording a message and you receive

another call, the second caller can leave a

voicemail message.

Set your answering system to answer calls

at least two rings earlier than your voicemail

service is set to answer. For example, if your

voicemail service answers after six rings, set

your answering system to answer after four

rings. Some voicemail service providers may

program the delay before answering calls in

seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow

six seconds per ring when determining the

appropriate setting.
