Troubleshooting

The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call.

•Make sure the ringer volume of the handset and telephone base are not set to off (page 14 and page 15).

•Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in properly (page 2).

•The handset may be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer to the telephone base.

•There may be too many extension phones on the telephone line to allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Unplug some of them.

•If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).

•Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can cause interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away as possible from these types of electronic devices.

•Test a working telephone at the telephone wall jack. If another telephone has the same problem, the problem is in the telephone wall jack. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).

•The telephone line cord may be defective. Install a new telephone line cord.

•Remove and install the battery again and place the handset in the telephone base.

•Wait for the handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for this to take place.
