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.
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.
There is interference during a telephone conversation.
My calls fade out when I am using the cordless handset.
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 ofce, 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).
I hear other calls when using the telephone.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack. Plug in a different
telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in the wiring or local
telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.
I hear noise on the cordless handset and the keys do not work.
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged in securely.
My caller ID features are not working properly.
Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from your
telephone service provider for this feature to work on your telephone.
The caller may not be calling from an area which supports caller ID.
Both your and the caller’s telephone service providers must use equipment compatible
with the caller ID service.
The caller ID information shows after the rst or second ring.
