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 protec-

 

 

tor) 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 installed in a high

 

 

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).

calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local ser-

 

 

vice. Call your local telephone company.

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 the telephone base or charger 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.
