Troubleshooting
My calls cut in
and out while I’m
using my cordless
handset.
Other electronic products can cause interference with
your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far
away from the following electronic devices as possible:
television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.
Do not install this phone near a microwave oven or
on the same electrical outlet. You might experience
decreased performance while the microwave oven is
operating.
If you plug your phone in with a modem or surge
protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector)
into a different location. If this does not solve the
problem, re-locate your phone or modem farther apart
from one another, or use a different surge protector.
Relocate your telephone base to a higher location. The
phone might have better reception when installed in a
high area.
If the other phones in your home are having the same
problem, contact your telephone service provider
(charges may apply).
The charge light
is off.
Make sure you plug the power and line cords in
correctly and securely.
Unplug the electrical power. Wait for 15 seconds, then
plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless
handset and telephone base to reset.
Clean the cordless handset and telephone base
charging contacts each month with a pencil eraser or
cloth.
Re-install the battery, and place the cordless handset
in the telephone base. Wait for the cordless handset
to re-establish its connection with the telephone base.
Allow up to one minute for this to take place.
Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a
new line cord.
