Make sure the battery pack is installed and charged correctly (see page 8). For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to the telephone base after use.

Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and the modular wall jack.

Reset the telephone base. Unplug the unit’s electrical power. Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one min- ute for the cordless handset and base to reset.

Place the handset in the base or charger for recharging.

Remove and re-install the battery pack and use it normally until fully discharged, then recharge the handset on the base or charger for 16 hours.

If the above measures do not correct the problem, the battery pack may need to be replaced.

The battery does not charge in the handset or the handset battery does not accept charge.
