Problem Cause & Solution

Connect to the [LINE] jack (page 7).
L If you use a splitter to connect the unit, remove the splitter and
connect the unit to the wall jack directly. If the unit operates
properly, check the splitter.
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.

connections.
L If you connected the fax machine through a computer modem,
connect the fax machine directly to a telephone line jack.
