Troubleshooting
• If your phone is plugged in with a modem or a surge
protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector)
into a different location. If this doesn't solve the
problem, relocate your phone or modem farther apart
from one another, or use a different surge protector.
• Relocate your phone to a higher location. The phone
will likely have better reception when installed in a high
area.
• If the other phones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service.
Contact your telephone service provider (charges may
apply).

calls while using
my phone.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack,
and plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other
calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local
service. Call your telephone service provider.
• 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 telephone base and the telephone jack. Make
sure the power cord is securely plugged in.
• The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone
base.
• Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least
16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the
cordless handset to the telephone base or charger when
not in use.
• 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 telephone service provider (charges may
apply).
