Troubleshooting
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 telephone 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 telephone 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 electronic devices such as
wireless routers or other cordless telephones.
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.
Other electronic products can cause interference with
your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far
away as possible from electronic devices such as
wireless routers or other cordless telephones.
Do not install this phone near a microwave oven or
on the same electrical outlet. You may experience
decreased performance while the microwave oven is
operating.
