Cordless Telephone
Troubleshooting Guide
If your cordless phone does not seem to operate properly, please check the following and refer to the appropriate sections in this booklet for detailed in- formation:
¥The phone is dead; no indicator lights are on: Are the power adapter and telephone cord connected?
¥Handset beeps during conversations or when away from the base:
The batteries need recharging; return the handset to the base for overnight recharging.
¥Hearing poor audio or added interference during calls: DonÕt
cover the top section of the handset with your hand or rest the phone on your shoulder. This blocks the special internal Cobra Intenna handset antenna.
¥Handset disconnects, loses performance and/or beeps three times when in use away from the base: You may be out of range or your batteries may need recharging. Move closer to the base and/or recharge batteries.
¥Unable to make a call due to interference: Select a new channel.
¥Handset won’t work after a power outage or after disconnecting phone from AC power and then reconnecting it: Return the handset to the base for about 15 seconds to automatically match the security coding.
¥Handset seems "dead.": Battery power has run out; return handset to base and charge for at least 12 hours. If handset still seems dead, unplug the handset battery for 15 seconds and plug back in and then place the handset back on the base for at least 5 minutes. Check that charge LED lamp is illuminated.
¥Memory dialing does not work: Handset battery may have become completely discharged; recharge handset in cradle (12 hours) then
¥Power Failure Reset: Power Protectorª Circuitry will preserve the codes set in the handset and base, however, if the battery in the base is low in power, you must return the cordless handset to the base for about 15 seconds. This automatically matches the digital security codes.
