Hi. I have a new 4-line phone (RCA 25414-RE3) and it is connected like the manual says. But it is not separating line 1 from line2 or line3 from line 4. They are both on lines 1 and 3.... can you help

The manual is at http://www.rca4business.com/products/pc/pdf/instruction-book/25414RE3.pdf I have it set up exactly like the 4 line set up on page 7

There are a couple of problems you may have.

First, the wall jack may not be wired correctly or the wire you ar eusing is a single line wire.

The easiest to check is the wire, look at the plug and see if it has 4 copper leads. If it only has two in the middle two slots then it will only connect line 1. If it has 4 copper leads then it should pass both lines 1 and 2 (or three and four). The middle leads are line 1 and the outer two are line 2.

If the wires all check out then you may have a wall plate that is not wired for multiple lines on the single wire. That will require a technician coming out and rewiring the plate. There are also adaptors available at Radio Shack that will combine two lines to one wire if you have both lines on the wall plate.

I have a blog on 4 line phones if you would like other tips about them. Go to the tag cloud and you will see 4 line phone.

    Thanks! I actually have 4 separate wall jacks with four separate phone lines (and numbers) coming into my office. So I think I need and adapter (according to the phone manual) that will combine two lines into one rj11 phone line. Do you know where I could get one. I have only been able to find splitters or 2-line adapters that have male ends and split two line coming out of a two line wall jack

    The adaptor is at Radio Shack, you may only be able to get it online. Model: T07843 | Catalog #: 55034722

Hello, we were having phone problem with our main phone and swapped it for a extra phone we had in storage. Same model. In doing that, we lost our caller ID on the main line to our business. When we...

According to the manual, the RCA 25413 does not support Caller ID. I have provided a link where you can download the manual. The manual is for model numbers 25413 and 25414. On page 8 it details how to turn caller ID on/off for each line under Ringer Tone heading item 6 Note, but the note says it does not apply for model 25413. Hope this helps.

RCA 25414 message light... doesn't

I have 6 of these phones. No problem for a year or so, then one phone got the message light stuck on. Tried some online suggestions without success. Powering down etc. failed to fix it so I stuck a piece of tape over the led.

A couple of weeks ago line 2 failed (externally) and ATT sent a tech out who repaired it and also cleaned up the line. When the line came back, all 6 phones had the message light stuck on!

Talked with the tech here and with the ATT support and nothing worked. Eventually the tech here left as it was not a line fault - but he said he would leave the problem open.

That evening a young ATT guy called. He tried a number of different settings and changes - he was really determined! He called Kentucky and Minnesota and part of the advice was "give up and don't call the customer back"!

Finally he found a configuration option in the central office switch (exchange) for the line called CWMI (Call Waiting Message Indicator). Apparently this option was originally active but was changed when the local trunk was upgraded to fibre over the last year or so.

Once he enabled this option (we have call waiting and caller ID on call waiting on this line), the message lights on all the phones turned off and have worked normally since (10 days), including the one that was "broken" for over a year!

I really credit the tech with persistance on the issue.

Hope this helps someone else out there.

Regards, Hugh
