VTech i 5808 You hear other calls while using your phone, Common cure for electronic equipment

In Case Of Difficulty

You hear other calls while using your phone:

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

You hear noise in the handset, and none of the keys or buttons work:

•Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

Common cure for electronic equipment:

If the unit does not seem to be responding normally, then try putting the handset in the cradle. If it does not seem to respond, do the following (in the order listed):

1.Disconnect the power to the base.

2.Disconnect the handset battery and spare battery compartment's battery.

3.Wait a few minutes.

4.Connect power to the base.

5.Re-install the battery.

6.Wait for the handset to re-establish its link with the base. To be safe, allow up to one minute for this to take place.

Your answering system is not recording messages:

•Make sure system is turned on. (If the system is off, ANS OFF will display on the base screen.)

•Make sure the system is set to RECORD MESSAGE (not GREETING ONLY).

You cannot hear recorded messages:

•Using the base volume control, raise the volume to a comfortable listening level.
