Troubleshooting

My cordless handset does not ring when I receive a call.

Make sure that the ringer is not off. Refer to Ringer volume in the CL83101/CL83201/CL83301/CL83351/CL83401/CL83451 user’s manual provided with your telephone.

Make sure you plug the telephone line cord securely into the telephone base and telephone jack. Make sure you plug in the power cord securely.

The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone base.

Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 10 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 telephone line to allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging some of the other phones.

The layout of your home or office may be limiting the operating range. Try moving the telephone base to another location, preferably on an upper floor.

If other phones in your home are having the same problem, contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).

Test a working phone at the phone jack. If another phone has the same problem, contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).

Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can cause interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away as possible from these types of electronic devices.

Remove the battery. Replace it and place the cordless handset into the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for the handset to reestablish its connection with the telephone base.

Your line cord may be defective. Try installing a new line cord.
