TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, the follow-
ing suggestions might help.

works poorly.
Be sure the base’s modular cord(s) and AC
adapter are correctly and securely connected.

connected and charged.
Return the handset to the base for a few sec-
onds to reset the security access-protection

The handset stops working or
works poorly during a call.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.
Be sure the handset’s battery pack is correctly
connected and charged.
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 away from computers,
remote control toys, wireless microphones,
alarm systems, intercoms, room monitors, fluo-
rescent lights, and electrical appliances.
Move the base to another location or turn off
the source of interference.
Hang up and redial the number.
The handset cannot be oper-
ated at a useful distance from

antenna is touching a metal surface.
