TROUBLESHOOTING

We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, first check another phone on the same line to determine if the problem is with the phone service. If it is not, try the following suggestions.

If you cannot determine the cause of the problem, take the phone to your local Radio Shack store for assis- tance.

False Ringing

Cordless phones can receive false ringing signals caused by other radio devices. To help prevent false ring- ing, your phone has a digital security system with over one million code combinations. In the unlikely event that false ringing does occur, move the base or the interfering transmitter to another location.

Noise Interference in Your Conversation

If you experience interference, move the handset closer to the base and move the base away from sources of interference (such as power lines, large motors, etc.). Try not to plug the base into a circuit that also provides power to a major appliance.

Telephone is Dead, or No Dial Tone

Several situations can cause this. If you have this difficulty:

Be sure the handset’s battery is fully charged and the handset is in the talk mode.

Be sure the phone line cord is securely connected to the jack.

Be sure the cord is not dam- aged.

Be sure the jack is properly wired.

Be sure the handset’s battery pack is securely connected.

Can Receive But Not Make Calls

Be sure you are in the talk mode

Check if PULSE/TONE is set cor- rectly

Phone Still Does Not Work

Reset your phone as follows:

1.Disconnect the adapter from the AC outlet, then connect it again.

2.Disconnect the battery pack’s wire from the handset, then con- nect it again (see “Replacing the Handset Battery”).
