My cordless handset beeps five times and isn’t performing normally.

•Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the base. Plug the unit into a different, working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

•Move the cordless handset closer to the base. You might have moved out of range.

•Reset the base. Unplug the unit’s electrical power. Wait for 15 sec- onds then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and base to reset.

•Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away from these types of electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless phones.

OTHER HANDSET ON (and then) OR OUT OF RANGE displays on my cordless hand- set.

•Only one handset can be used to make or answer a call anytime. If another handset attempt to do so, the screen will display OTHER HANDSET ON and then OR OUT OF RANGE. You might press PHONE or SPEAKER again until no other handset is using the line. Use the call transfer feature (see page 15) to transfer a call to another system hand- set or use the speakerphone feature so multiple members of your house can be on an active call at the same time.
