Troubleshooting
•Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to the handset charger when not in use.
•You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging some of the other phones.
•The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the telephone base to another location, preferably to a higher location.
•If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
•Test a working phone at the phone jack. If another phone has the same problem, contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
•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.
•Remove and install the battery again. Place the cordless handset in the telephone base. Wait for the cordless handset to reestablish its connection with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for this to take place.
•Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new line cord.

•Relocate your telephone base to a higher location. The phone might have better reception when installed in a high area.
•If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
