If you hear noise or interference when using the phone:

•You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.

•Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base to another outlet.

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

If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:

•Make sure the handset Ringer is on.

•Make sure the AC adapter is plugged firmly into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
