Your cordless telephone has 40 operating channels. The phone will automatically search and select the clearest channel when you press the TALK button. If you hear noise or other interference during your conversation, you can manually select a clearer channel by pressing and releasing the CH button on the handset to switch to another spare channel. Your call will not be interrupted.
NOTE:
You must be in usable range to change channels. If you press the CH button when you are close to being out of range, you may lose the call. If this occurs, place the handset back into the base for a few seconds to reset the security code and then make the call again.

NOTE:
If you experience difficulty with placing or receiving calls, the lost security code may be the cause of the problem. When this occurs, the handset can no longer communicate with its base. The loss of the code can occur any of the following ways: if the battery is drained and needs recharging; the handset is out of range of the base unit; the AC adaptor is disconnected or a power loss has occurred; or anything that causes electrical interference, for example multiple cordless telephones, baby monitors, televisions, VCR’s etc. Reset the security code by placing the handset on the base for 10 seconds. If that does not work, make sure the AC adaptor is connected. If necessary, unplug the AC adaptor from the power source. Disconnect the battery for 5 seconds and then reconnect. Place the handset on the base and then replug the AC adaptor (see Troubleshooting).
Ringer Control
If you do not want the unit to ring, set the RINGER switch on the side of the handset to OFF. The handset will no longer ring when a call is being received. The handset LCD display will show “RINGING” when a call comes in.
Out of Range

Flash
