Troubleshooting

Appendix C

•If your phone is plugged in with a modem or surge protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesn't solve the problem, re-locate your phone or modem farther apart from one another, or use a different surge protector.

•Move the handset closer to the base. The operating range may vary with environmental conditions and time of use. There may be places within your environment that a cordless phone will not work well. If the problem only occurs in certain areas of your environment, you can conclude that there is nothing wrong with the phone.

•Relocate your telephone base to a higher location. The phone will 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).

The charge light is off.

•Make sure the power and line cords are plugged in correctly and securely.

•Unplug the electrical power. Wait for 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base to reset.

•Clean the cordless handset and telephone base charging contacts each month using a pencil eraser or cloth.
