IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
If you hear noise or interference when using the phone:
•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.
If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:
•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.
•Using the handset near household appliances (microwaves, computers, televisions, stereos, etc.) can sometimes cause interference. Move away from appliances while using the handset.
If your telephone misdials:
•If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, you’ll need to set the dial mode to PULSE. Follow the instructions under “Set Dial Mode” in the FEATURE SETUP section of this manual.
•If you have touch tone service and you hear clicks while you are dialing, you’ll need to set the dial mode to DTMF. Follow the instructions under “Set Dial Mode” in the FEATURE SETUP section of this manual.
If the caller’s name or phone number is not displayed:
•Make sure you subscribe to a Caller ID service from your local telephone company.
•Make sure the battery is charged.
•Caller ID service might not work when the phone is connected to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX).
