Battery Life

The battery life depends upon how often and how you adjust the frequency level.The life of the battery should last between two and six months, depending on the type of use.

Trouble Shooting

The CE225 is designed for long and trouble free operation. However, if any problem arises in using your telephone disconnect the amplifier from the telephone. Re-connect the handset to the telephone. If the problem disappears, than the problem may lie within your amplifier. If the handset is completely dead, make sure each cord is correctly installed. If the handset is still dead, the battery may be incorrectly installed or need replacing.

If the problem does not go away after disconnecting the amplifier, than the problem lies in your telephone or telephone line. Notify your phone company or contact the manufacturer of the telephone for servicing procedures or facilities.
