Troubleshooting
We do not expect you have any problems with your telephone, but if you do, the following sug-
gestions might help.
If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line work proper-
ly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot locate the problem, take your phone
to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
Problem Suggestion

Raise the base’s antenna to a vertical position.
Ensure the phone’s modular cord and the AC adapter are cor-
rectly and securely connected.
Recharge the handset’s battery pack.
Return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds to reset the
security access-protection code.

such as computers, remote control toys, wireless alarm systems,
