Troubleshooting

not work, check here
10.3.1 Initial settings
I cannot hear a dial tone.
L The telephone line cord is connected to the
[EXT] jack on the unit. Connect to the [LINE]
jack (page 5) (KX-FT901/KX-FT903 only).
L If you used 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 the line to 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 connected the fax machine through a
computer modem, connect the fax machine
directly to a telephone line jack.
I cannot make calls.
L The dialling mode setting may be wrong.
Change the setting (feature #13, page 47).
The unit does not ring.
L The ringer volume is turned OFF. Adjust it
(page 14).

“RINGER OFF”. Change to another ring
setting (page 47) (KX-FT907 only).
10.3.2 General
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.

34) or TEL/FAX mode (page 36).
– KX-FT907: TAD/FAX mode (page 35),

sure you have set the same ring pattern
assigned by the telephone company (page

The {REDIAL}/{PAUSE } button does not
function properly.
L If this button is pressed during dialling, a
pause will be inserted. If pressed
immediately after a dial tone is obtained, the
last number dialled will be redialled.

properly.

adjust the volume.
