Troubleshooting

Problem

Suggestion

 

 

 

I cannot dial out..

Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The handset may take a second or two to find

 

 

the base and produce a dial tone.. This is normal.. Wait an extra second before dialing..

 

• Make sure your phone is set to the correct dial mode for the type of service that you have (pulse

 

 

or touchtone).. Refer to the Installation section of this user’s manual to set the dial mode..

 

If the other phones in your home are having the issue, the problem is in your wiring or local

 

 

service.. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply)..

 

• Eliminate any background noise.. Noise from a television, radio or other appliance may cause

 

 

the phone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, first try muting

 

 

the handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less background

 

 

noise..

UNABLE TO CALL,

Move the handset closer to the base.. You might have moved out of range..

TRY AGAIN displays

If the handset is in its base and the charging light does not come on, refer to The charge light

on my handset..

 

is off (see page 37) in this troubleshooting guide..

 

• Reset the base.. Unplug the unit’s electrical power.. Wait for 15 seconds then plug it back in..

 

 

Allow up to one minute for the handset and base to reset..

 

Other electronic products can cause interference with your cordless phone.. Try installing

 

 

your phone as far away from these types of electronic devices as possible: wireless routers,

 

 

radios, radio towers, pager towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal

 

 

computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless phones..

The batteries will not

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

hold a charge..

 

handset to its base when not in use..

 

• You may need to purchase a new battery, please refer to the Batteries (see page 32) section

 

 

of this user’s manual..

 

• Your phone might be malfunctioning.. Please refer to the Warranty section of this user’s manual
