Problem: Receiver sound flutters or fades.

Solutions:

Move the handset closer to the base.

Place the base’s antenna in a ver- tical position.

Be sure the battery is charged.

Problem: Can make calls, but tele- phone does not ring.

Solutions:

The handset's ringer might be off. Press and hold RINGER ON/OFF for about 2 seconds until a short beep sounds. (See “Turning On/ Off the Ringer.”)

The telephone company might be using unusual ringing methods. Your telephone is designed for standard straight line bridged ring- ing.

Problem: Can receive calls, but cannot make calls.

Solution: Set TONE/PULSE for the

type of service you have.

Problem: You cannot answer/make a call and the handset sounds an error tone when you lift it from the base or press TALK.

Solution: The phone might be receiv- ing interference from another RF sig- nal; or, if the handset is away from the base during a long period of AC power failure, the phone might lose its secu- rity access protection code. Return the handset to the base for 5 seconds, then try again.
