Troubleshooting

I cannot hear any ring tone from the cordless headset when there is an incoming call.

•The headset does not have an external ringer. The ring tone can only be heard through the headset earpiece.

•Make sure the headset ringer volume is not set to the lowest level (page 14).

•If you have pressed MUTE/FLASH on the cordless headset when it is ringing, it mutes the ring tone of the headset. The ring tone resumes on the next call.

•The headset may be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer to the telephone base.

•You may have too many extension phones on the telephone line to allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Unplug some of them.

•The layout of your home or office may be limiting the operating range. Try moving the telephone base to another location, preferably on a higher location.

•If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.

•Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can cause interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away as possible from these types of electronic devices.

•Test a working telephone at the telephone wall jack. If another telephone has the same problem, there may be problem with the telephone wall jack. Contact your telephone service provider.

•The telephone line cord may be defective. Install a new telephone line cord.

There is interference during a telephone conversation.

My calls fade out when I am using the cordless headset.

•The cordless headset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base.

•If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

•Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the telephone base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone base to another outlet.
