Troubleshooting
•Do not install this phone near a microwave oven or on the same electrical outlet. You may experience decreased performance while the microwave oven is operating.
•If your phone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this solves the problem, re- locate your phone or modem farther apart from one another, or use a different surge protector.
•Relocate your phone to a higher location. The phone will likely have better reception when not installed in a low area.
•If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

My cordless handset does not ring when I receive a call
•Make sure that the ringer is not turned off. Refer to the section(s) on ringer selection in this user’s manual.
•Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged securely into the telephone base and the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.
•The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone base.
•Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to its base when not in use.
•You may have too many extension phones on your tel- ephone line to allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging some of the other phones.
