Doro 133R phone - answering machine not working

initially check the volume of the speakers.If the volume is high and the problem persists it is due to the speakers of the phone not working.Contact the service centre

Hi,

If you are using the same phone line as your fax, you can start by connecting the answering machine on Line2 or 2-Ext at the back of the fax. Set the fax to answer on two rings higher than the Answering Machine. (for example: if answering maching is 4 rings, fax is 6 rings)

And then, turn on the auto answer.

Hi there,

It is your phone answering machine that must pick up in three rings or less.

Therefore 4 is too much. I would not limit number for fax machine itself.

On receipt of fax sometimes seems like it will not work when answering machine picks up in the middle. However, leave it and it will work. Sometimes sender will hear your answering machine and cancel as well. So try to ensure they don't give up at other end as well.

Good Luck!

Hi, Here's the instructions to change # of rings. You will see that in instructions below, numer 1 says press w, actually what you press is not a w, it looks like three lines. I will also give you a link for the manual as it has good photos on page 23.

Scroll down to the box that says, select model number, then scroll to 830R. You will have to enter the 4 numbers into the page before downloading but it's easy.
Good luck. If this helps you plz rate it 'fixya' for me. Thank you kindly.
