Problem Suggestion
My handset does not
ring when I receive
a call.
Make sure you have the ringer activated. Refer to the section(s) on ringer selection in this
user’s manual.
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged rmly into the base unit and the telephone jack.
Make sure the power cord is plugged in.
• You may be too far from the base unit.
• Charge the battery in the handset for at least 16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return
the handset to its base when not in use.
• You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring.
Try unplugging some of the other phones.
• The layout of your home or ofce might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the base
to another location, preferably to a higher oor.
• If the other phones in your home are having the problem, the problem is in your wiring or local
service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply.)
• Test a working phone at the phone jack. If another phone has the same problem, the problem
is the phone jack. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply.)

phone as far away as possible from electronic devices such as: wireless routers, radios, radio
towers, pager towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal computers,
kitchen appliances and other cordless phones
