Troubleshooting

•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 might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the telephone base to another location, preferably to a higher location.

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

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

•Other electronic products can cause interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away as possible from electronic devices such as television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.

•Completely remove the battery. Install the battery again and place the cordless handset into the telephone base. Wait for the cordless handset to reestablish its connection with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for this to take place.

•Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new line cord.

My calls cut in and out while I’m using my cordless handset.

•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.

•Do not install this phone near a microwave oven or on the same electrical outlet. You might experience decreased performance while the microwave oven is operating.

•If you plug your phone in with a modem or surge protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this does not solve the problem, relocate your phone or modem farther apart from one another, or use a different surge protector.

•Move your telephone base to a higher location. The phone might have better reception when installed in a high area.

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