Answering machine symbol flashes continuously on FRITZ!Fon

The symbol for the answering machine flashes continuously on the display of your FRITZ!Fon although no one is leaving a message.

Cause

Because of DECT Eco, the FRITZ!Fon switches to standby mode while recording and misses the signal that the recording is over.

1 Turning FRITZ!Fon off and on again

Press the end call key (red handset) on the phone until the phone turns off.
Press and hold the end call key again until the phone turns on again.

Note:Restarting the FRITZ!Fon solves the problem, but it can occur again if DECT Eco is enabled. To permanently solve the problem, you can enable the listening in function. Then the FRITZ!Fon no longer switches to standby mode while recording.
