Troubleshooting
• If your phone is plugged in with a modem or surge protector, plug
the phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this
solves 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 will
have better reception when not installed in a low area.
• 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.)

cable.
• Wait a few minutes.
• Connect power to the base.

base. To be safe, allow up to one minute for this to take place.
