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 cord 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 re- charge 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 hand- set to the base for about 15 seconds to automatically match the secu- rity 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.

¥Memory dialing does not work: Handset battery may have become completely discharged; recharge handset in cradle (12 hours) then re-enter your memory dialing numbers (see p. 10).
