TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your ET-689, but if you do, the fol-
lowing 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. Keep the handset away from computers,
remote control toys, wireless microphones,
alarm systems, intercoms, room monitors, fluo-
rescent lights, and electrical appliances.
Press
CHANNEL to change the channel.
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, and place it in
a vertical position.
Be sure neither antenna is touching a metal
surface.
Return the handset to the base to recharge the
battery pack.
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 connected and
charged.
The handset battery pack
does not charge.
Be sure the battery pack is properly connected.
Check the charging contacts on the handset
and base. If they are dirty, clean them with a
pencil eraser.
Replace the battery pack. (See “Replacing the
Battery Pack” on Page 22.)
