Troubleshooting
My cordless
handset does
not ring when I
receive a call.
• Make sure that the ringer is not turned off. Refer to the section(s) on
ringer selection in this user’s manual.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged securely into the base
unit and the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is securely
plugged in.
• The cordless handset may be too far from the base unit.
• Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours the
first time. For optimum daily performance, return the cordless hand-
set to its base when not in use. If your battery becomes completely
depleted, make sure to charge it for at least 15 minutes before
attempting to place a call.
• You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to
allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging some of the
other phones.
• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating
range. Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an
upper floor.
• If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the
problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local tele-
phone company (charges may apply).
• Test a working phone at the phone jack. If another phone has the
same problem, the problem is the phone jack. Contact your local
telephone company (charges may apply).
• Other electronic products can cause interference with your cordless
phone. Try installing your phone as far away as possible from elec-
tronic devices wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers,
cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal comput-
ers, kitchen appliances and other cordless phones.
• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new line cord.
• Re-install the battery pack, and place cordless handset in base cra-
dle.
• Wait for the cordless handset to re-establish its connection with the
base. To be safe, allow up to one minute for this to take place.
My calls fade
out or cut in
and out while
I’m using
my cordless
handset.
• Press the CHAN button while on a call until the interference has been
eliminated.
• Other electronic products can cause interference with your cord-
less phone. Try installing your phone as far away from the following
electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, radio towers,
pager towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions,
personal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless phones
• Microwaves operate on the same frequency as your phone. It is nor-
mal to experience static on your phone while the microwave oven
is operating. Do not install this phone in the same outlet or near the
microwave oven.
I hear noise in
the cordless
handset, and
none of the
keys or buttons
work.
• Make sure the power cord is plugged in securely.
