Trouble Shooting

Due to the complex nature of telecommunication systems and how each is uniquely set up, results may vary. If the problem still persists, contact our technical support. Please have the following information available: Name, order number, type of phone you are using, phone/internet service provider and the type of services ( example: ATT POTS w/ DSL internet), and the description of the problem(s).


No Caller ID on the (a)phone or the (b)Sentry.

-(a) If the phone is connected to Sentry ‘in series’, switch to ‘parallel’ using a phone splitter. -(a)(b) Household with multiple phones connected to a wall jack might have to remove a phone if the ringer equivalence number (REN) exceeds the service providers limit. Usually from 3-5 REN. REN are usually located on the bottom of the base of the telephones. -(a)(b) With DSL internet services, try removing the filter or adding extra filters to the line up (connect the filters back to back).

The screen is blank or dim.

- Press the HOME button and wait 2 seconds, then press and hold UP button for 4-5 seconds and gently tap UP several more times until the the screen reappears with the LCD settings. Choose the setting acceptable to you. This might require several attempts.
-If the screen is still blank or dim, replace batteries.

Callers are not getting to voice mail.

- Only callers on the White List can leave a voice mail. We recommend setting the Sentry to OFF mode when you are expecting an important call or if you are going to be away from the residence.

White List callers are getting the message prompt.

- Check to make sure their numbers are inputted correctly. Once they press “0”, their number should automatically be saved on to the white list.
Pressing “0” does let the caller through.
- Turning the ringer on the Sentry will solve the issue. On the home screen, press and hold DOWN button until the RINGER ON/OFF appears on the screen. Press DOWN to toggle ON/OFF.

How SENTRY works

  • SENTRY is a ‘check point’ to screen all incoming calls.
  • SENTRY's 'check point' has two lines of defense. First is a voice warning message, that tells solicitors to leave, and tell legitimate callers to come in by pressing 0.
  • At this point, 100% robo calls will be stopped, 99% of solicitor callers will leave.
  • The second line of defense is SENTRY's Black List function. You can put any number on SENTRY's caller id list to the Black List.
  • In reality, the first line of defense is so effective, you rarely need to add a number to the Black List.
  • For the legitimate callers, SENTRY lets you create a White List. Callers on White List will be allowed in without hearing the warning message.
  • If the caller is on White List, SENTRY allows the caller to come in without asking.
  • If the caller is not on White List, SENTRY will ask all telemarketers/solicitors to hang up, and will tell ‘legitimate’ callers to press 0 to come in.
  • Put a caller to White List is easy. Just find the number on caller id list and press ACCEPT.
  • The first line of defense is so effective that you rarely have to use Black List to block off persistent offenders, if any. No robo calls can penetrate SENTRY.

Tips to best use SENTRY

  • Create White List. Your loved ones will pass through SENTRY without ‘checks’.
  • When used as a junk fax blocker, it blocks all faxes that are not on White List. Set SENTRY to ‘OFF’ (press VOICE button) when you anticipate a fax that is not on White List. Put that number to the White List after receiving the fax.
