Charge the battery in the handset for 16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the

 

 

handset to its telephone base when not in use.

 

• You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring.

 

 

Try unplugging some of the other phones.

 

• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the telephone
