A call to a particular phone number fails. If the system tries to make a call several times to the same phone number (for example: the party
does not respond to the call, the party is out of
the service area, or the call is abandoned before
the party responds), the system may reject a
request to make a call to the phone number. Turn off the cellular phone and turn it on again to
reset the connection.
The system does not recognize the con-
nection of a cellular phone. The system
does not receive or make a call. The cellular phone is not compatible with the in-
