same problem, the problem is in the telephone wall jack. Contact your telephone
service provider (charges may apply).
The telephone line cord may be defective. Install a new telephone line cord.
Remove and install the battery again 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.
My handset beeps and is not performing normally.
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug
the telephone base into a different working electrical outlet not controlled by a
wall switch.
Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It may be out of range.
Reset the telephone base by unplugging the electrical power to the base. Wait
for 15 seconds and plug it back in again. Allow up to one minute for the cordless
handset and the telephone base to synchronize.

possible from these types of electronic devices.
There is interference during a telephone conversation. My calls fade

The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line)
through your telephone line, you must install a DSL lter between the telephone
line cord and the telephone wall jack. The lter prevents noise and caller ID
problems caused by DSL interference. Contact your DSL service provider for more
information about DSL lters.
Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the
telephone base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone
base to another outlet.
Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can cause
interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away as
possible from these types of electronic devices.
If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the
telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesn’t solve
the problem, relocate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or
use a different surge protector.
The location of your telephone base can impact the performance of your cordless
phone. For better reception, install the telephone base in a centralized location
within your home or ofce, away from walls or other obstructions. In many
environments, elevating the telephone base improves overall performance.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a corded
telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or local
telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is
in the wiring or local telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider
(charges may apply).
