•Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the modular jack.

•Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.

•Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly.

•If the handset does not beep when you press Lor l, the battery might need charging.

•If you have dial pulse (rotary) service on your phone line, make sure the dial mode switch is set to PULSE (see INSTALLATION).

If the above suggestions don’t solve the problem, try re-initializing the handset and base:

1Disconnect the power to the base.

2Remove the handset battery pack.

3Wait a few minutes.

4Connect the power to the base.

5Insert the handset battery pack.

6Put the handset in the base to re-initialize.

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

•The handset battery pack might need recharging or replacement.

•You might be out of range. Move closer to the base and try again.

•If moving closer to the base doesn’t help, try following the directions above for re-initializing the handset and base.

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

•Make sure the handset 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 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.
