3.If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:

·Make sure the handset ringer is ON.

·Make sure the telephone modular line cord is connected firmly to the base and the telephone jack.

·Make sure the AC adapter is plugged firmly into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

·You might be too far from the base; move closer.

·You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.

4.If you hear noise or interference when using the phone:

·You may be out range. Move closer to the base.

·Press and release the “CH” button to change to another of the 40 channels avail- able.

·Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base to another outlet.

·Using the handset near household appliances (microwaves, computers, televi- sions, stereos, family videos, games and fax machines) can sometimes cause interference. Move away from appliances while using the handset.

·Try moving the base to another location.

·If the buttons don’t work, try placing the handset in the base for at least 15 seconds.

·Make sure the handset battery is fully charged.

5.Phone will not hold a charge:

·Make sure the charging contacts on the handset and base are free of dust and dirt. Clean the contacts with a soft cloth.

·Make sure CHARGE LED on the base is lit when handset is in the cradle.

·If necessary, replace the handset battery (See page #11 - Handset Battery Charg- ing).

6.If you hear other calls while using your phone:

·Press the “CH” button to change to another channel.

·Disconnect the base from the modular jack and plug in a corded telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local services. Call your local telephone service company.

7.If you lose a call after changing channels:

·You were probably almost out of range. Move closer to the base before changing channels. Before placing another call, set the handset in the base for at least 15 seconds.
