Troubleshooting
Problem Suggestion
The telephone does not
ring when there is an
incoming call.
Make sure the ringer is on (page 8).
Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in properly (page 2).
The handset may be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer to the telephone base.
There may be too many extension telephones on the telephone line to allow all of them to ring
simultaneously. Try unplugging some of them.
If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or local
service. Contact the local telephone company (charges may apply).
Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing your telephone
as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager
towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal
computers, kitchen appliances, and other cordless telephones.
Test a working telephone at the telephone jack. If another telephone has the same problem, the problem
is in the telephone jack. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).
The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord.
Remove and re-insert the battery and place the handset in the telephone base.
Wait for the handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for this to take
place.
