In case of difficulty

Telephone does

not work at all

• Make sure the battery pack is installed and charged correctly (see

page 7).

• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet not controlled by

a wall switch.

• 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.

• If you have dial pulse telephone service, make sure the dial mode is

set to dial pulse (see page 11).

• If these suggestions do not work, unplug the base, remove and re-

insert the battery, then place the handset in the base to re-initialize.

Phone does not

ring

• Make sure the ringer is on (see page 10).

• Make sure the telephone line cord and AC adapter are plugged in

properly (see page 6).

• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.

• Move the handset closer to the base.

• You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to

allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.

If you hear

noise or

interference

during a call

• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.

• You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.

• Press CHANto select another channel. If noise is exceptionally loud,

move closer to the base before changing channels.

• Appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can cause

interference. Try moving the appliance or base to another outlet.

• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating

range. Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an

upper floor.

• If the buttons don’t work, try placing the handset in the base for at

least 15 seconds.

• Disconnect the base from the modular jack and plug in a corded tele-

phone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in your

wiring or local service. Call your local telephone service company.
