TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your ET-1112, but if you do, the fol-
lowing suggestions might help.
Problem Suggestion
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
in the handset is charged.
Return the handset to the base for a few seconds to
reset the security access-protection code.
The handset stops working or
works poorly during a call.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully upright position.
Be sure the handset’s battery pack is charged. (If the
battery pack power is too low, it does not have enough
power to light the LOW BATT indicator.)
Low volume or unusual sounds. Someone has picked up another phone on the same
line. Hang up the other phone.
Severe noise interference. Keep the handset and base away from computers,
remote control toys, wireless microphones, alarm sys-
tems, intercoms, room monitors, fluorescent lights, and
electrical appliances.
Move to another location or turn off the source of inter-
ference.
Hang up and redial the number.
The phone cannot be operated
at a useful distance from the
base because the signal
becomes weak or noisy (hand-
set’s range has decreased).
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully upright position.
Be sure neither the handset or base antenna is touching
a metal surface.
Recharge the battery pack.
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 properly connected.
Be sure the handset is properly seated on the base.
