VTech VT 9241 manual Base does not Ring, Common Cure for Electronic Equipment

Page 29

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY

•You may be too far from the Base Unit.

•You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try unplug- ging some of the other phones.

THE BASE DOES NOT RING

• Your Base Unit and Handset may not be operating on the same chan- nel or security code. Place the Handset in the cradle for a few mo- ments to reload the security code and reset the channel.

COMMON CURE FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

•Make sure the BASE RINGER switch is not set to off.

•There may be too many extension phones on your line. Try unplugging one of the other phones.

YOUR CALLER FADES IN AND OUT.

•You may be nearly out of range. Move closer, or relocate the Base.

YOU HEAR OTHER CALLS WHILE USING YOUR PHONE.

•Replace the Handset in the Base cradle, wait a few moments and try again.

•Change the channel by pressing CHAN key on Handset.

•Disconnect your Base Unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a regu- lar corded 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 BUT- TONS WORK.

•Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

Electronics, like people, can sometimes get confused. If the unit does not seem to be responding normally, then try put- ting the Handset in the cradle to re-ini- tialize the unit. If it still does not seem to respond, perform the following steps (in the order listed):

1.Disconnect the power to the Base.

2.Disconnect the Handset battery.

3.Remove the spare battery from the Base Unit spare battery charger, if in use.

4.Wait a few minutes.

5.Connect power to the Base.

6.Connect the Handset battery.

7.Put the Handset in the Base to re- initialize.
