allow all of them to ring. Try unplug-
ging some of the other phones.
THE BASE DOES NOT RING
Make sure the BASE RINGER
switch is not set to off.
There may be too many extension
phones on your line. Try unplugging
one of the other phones.
YOUR CALLER FADES IN AND OUT.

YOU HEAR OTHER CALLS WHILE
USING YOUR PHONE.
Replace the Handset in the Base
cradle, wait a few moments and try
again.
Change the channel by pressing
CHAN key on Handset.
Disconnect your Base Unit from the
telephone jack, and plug in a regu-
lar corded telephone. If you still hear
other calls, the problem is probably
in your wiring or local service. Call
your local telephone company.
YOU HEAR NOISE IN THE HANDSET,
AND NONE OF THE KEYS OR BUT-
TONS WORK.
Make sure the power cord is
plugged in.
Your Base Unit and Handset may
not be operating on the same chan-
nel or security code. Place the
Handset in the cradle for a few mo-
ments to reload the security code
and reset the channel.
COMMON CURE FOR ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT
Electronics, like people, can sometimes
get confused. If the unit does not seem
to be responding normally, then try put-
ting the Handset in the cradle to re-ini-
tialize the unit. If it still does not seem
to respond, perform the following steps
(in the order listed):
1. Disconnect the power to the Base.
2. Disconnect the Handset battery.
3. Remove the spare battery from the
Base Unit spare battery charger, if
in use.
4. Wait a few minutes.
5. Connect power to the Base.
6. Connect the Handset battery.
7. Put the Handset in the Base to re-
initialize.
