If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line
work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the prob-
lem, take your phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
The handset does not ring or
receive a page.
The battery pack might be weak. Charge the
battery pack.
Extend the base’s antenna vertically.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Move the base away from other electrical devic-
es and sources of noise.
The handset stops working or
works poorly during a call.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Fully extend the base’s antenna, and place it in
a vertical position.
Check the charging contacts on the handset
and base. If they are dirty, clean them with a
pencil eraser.
Be sure the handset’s battery pack is charged.
(If the battery power is too low, it does not have
enough power to light the LOW BATT indicator.)
If the base loses power while the handset is off
of it, the security access-protection code might
change. Restore power to the base, then place
the handset back on the base. The CHARGE in-
dicator lights when the code is reset.
The call is too noisy. Change channels or hang up and redial the
number.
