Troubleshooting

•If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this solves the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther apart from one another, or use a different surge protector.

•Relocate your telephone base to a higher location. It will have better reception when installed in a high area.

•If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact your local tele- phone company (charges may apply.)

The charge light is off.

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