TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, the follow-
ing suggestions might help.
Problem Suggestion
Low volume or unusual
sounds.
Someone has picked up another phone on the
same line. Hang up the other phone.
Severe noise interference. Press
CH
to change the channel.
Keep the handset away from computers,
remote control toys, wireless microphones,
alarm systems, intercoms, room monitors, fluo-
rescent lights, and electrical appliances.
Move to another location or turn off the source
of interference.
Hang up and redial the number.
The phone cannot be oper-
ated at a useful distance from
the base because the signal
becomes weak or noisy (the
handset’s range has
decreased).
Fully extend the base’s antenna in a vertical
position.
Be sure neither antenna is touching a metal
surface.
Return the handset to the cradle, to recharge
the battery pack.
Replace the battery pack (see “Replacing the
Battery Pack” on Page 21).
The handset battery pack
does not charge.
Check the charging contacts on the handset
and base. If they are dirty, clean them with a
pencil eraser.
Be sure the battery pack is connected cor-
rectly.
The phone does not work or
works poorly.
Be sure the base’s phone line cord and AC
adapter are correctly and securely connected,
and the battery pack is charged.
