TROUBLESHOOTING

We do not expect you to have any problems with your telephone, but if you do, the following suggestions might help. If you still have problems, check other phones on the same line to see if they work properly. If they do and the problem does not seem to be with your phone service, take your phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

Problem: The handset does not work.

Solutions:

Move the handset closer to the base.

Fully extend the handset’s and base’s antennas vertically.

Be sure POWER is set to ON.

Be sure the phone line cord and AC adapter are correctly and securely connected.

Be sure the battery is charged.

Return the handset to the base for 5 seconds, then try again.

Problem: Volume drops or you hear unusual sounds.

Solution: Someone has picked up an- other phone on the same line. Hang up the other phone.

Problem: Call is noisy.

Solutions:

Press CH to switch to another channel.

Do not mount the base near appli- ances or large metal objects.

Hang up and redial the number.

Keep the handset away from inter- ference sources such as comput- ers, remote control toys, wireless microphones, wireless alarm sys- tems, wireless intercoms and room monitors, fluorescent lights, and electrical appliances. If the interference is severe, turn off the interfering device.

Problem: The handset’s range de- creases.

Solutions:

Fully extend the handset’s and base’s antennas vertically.
