3.If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:
·Make sure the handset ringer is ON.
·Make sure the telephone modular line cord is connected firmly to the base and the telephone jack.
·Make sure the AC adapter is plugged firmly into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
·You might be too far from the base; move closer.

4.If you hear noise or interference when using the phone:
·You may be out range. Move closer to the base.
·Press and release the “CH” button to change to another of the 40 channels avail- able.
·Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base to another outlet.
·Using the handset near household appliances (microwaves, computers, televi- sions, stereos, family videos, games and fax machines) can sometimes cause interference. Move away from appliances while using the handset.

6.If you hear other calls while using your phone:
