COMMON CURE FOR ELECTRONIC EQUI.PMENT

Remedy

Electronics , like people , can sometimes get confused. If the unit does not seem to be responding normally, then try putting the handset in the cradle for 5 to 10 seconds to re-initialize the unit. If it still does not seem to respond, perform the following steps (in the order listed):

THE HANDSET DOES NOT RING WHEN YOU RECEIVE A CALL

Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

You may be too far from the base unit.

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

1.Disconnect the power to the base.

2.Disconnect the handset battery.

3.Wait a few minutes.

4.Connect power to the base.

5.Connect the handset battery.

6.Put the handset in the base to re-initialize.

YOU HEAR NOISE IN THE HANDSET AND NONE OF THE KEYS OR BUTTONS WORK

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

Replace the handset in the base cradle, wait a few moments and try again.

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.

Make sure the power cord is plugged in. Your base unit and handset may not be operating on the same channel or security code. Place the handset in the cradle for a few moments to reload the security code and reset the channel.
