16.2.5 Error code
Dialing errors
D.0.3, The remote unit didn’t respond, the call couldn’t be completed or 
stop was
D.0.8 pressed during dialing. Re-try the call. If your machine repeats the 
message, call the remote fax unit’s operator and verify that unit is 
operating properly.

der problem during transmission.
