If the handset does not ring when you receive a call:

•Make sure you have the ringer turned on and loud enough to hear. (See the instructions on the ring tone and ringer volume for additional information.)

•Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the telephone wall jack.

•Make sure the power cord is plugged into the base unit and an electrical outlet.

•Move closer to the base unit.

If you hear other calls while using your phone:

•Disconnect your base unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, contact your local telephone company.
