Troubleshooting
Changing the Handset to Base Code
Your phone ships with a special identification code to connect any registered handsets to this particular base. Normally, you will never have to change this handset to base code, but in the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is using the same code or if you are instructed to change this code by a manufacturer’s Call Center Representative, you can change the code. To change the handset to base code:
1)Reset all of your handsets (see Resetting the Handset on page 55).
2)
Changing the Line Mode for Multiple Extensions
Line mode refers to the method that telephones use to signal each other that an extension is in use. Customer service may recommend changing the line mode if you have any of the following problems:
•Your phone keeps ringing after someone answers on an extension phone.
•Your answering system doesn’t stop recording when you answer on an extension phone.
•Caller ID displays briefly and then clears.
1)Press [menu/select].
2)Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the SET LINE MODE submenu.
3)IF INSTRUCTED BY CUSTOMER SERVICE PRESS [SELECT] appears. Press [menu/select].
4)Move the cursor to select TYPE - A, TYPE - B, or OFF.
5)Press [menu/select]. You will hear a confirmation tone.
Traveling Out of Range
When the handset is in standby, the handset will display OUT OF RANGE.
During a call, if you move your handset too far from your base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limit of the base, the handset will beep, display OUT OF RANGE, and then go to standby. The base will maintain the connection for thirty seconds after the handset goes out of range. If you move the handset back within range of the base within thirty seconds, press [
/flash] or [
] to pick up the call again.
