Troubleshooting
• 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.
My caller ID isn’t
working.
• Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe
to this service from your local telephone company for
this feature to work on your phone.
• The caller must be calling from an area that supports
caller ID.
• Both you and your caller’s telephone companies must
use caller ID compatible equipment.
• 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 local telephone company
(charges may apply).
