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 like
television sets, VCRs, or other cordless
telephones.
• Re-install the battery, and place 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.
