TELEPHONE OPERATION

PROBLEM

If you hear a triple-beep signal when you try to use the handset:

SOLUTION

The handset and base are not communicating properly. You might be out of range. Move closer to the base and try again.

PROBLEM

If you hear noise or interference when using the phone:

SOLUTION

•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.

•Using the handset near household appliances (microwaves,computers, televisions,stereos,etc.) can sometimes cause interference. Move away from appliances while using the handset.

PROBLEM

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

SOLUTION

•Make sure the ringer is on.

•Make sure the telephone line cord is connected firmly to the base and the telephone jack.

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

•You might be too far from the base; move closer.

•You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.
