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

your telephone as far away from these types of electronic devices as possible: wireless routers,
radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions,
personal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless telephones.
