(Cordless Handset Purchased Separately)
“Out of range or no pwr at base” appears on my cordless handset
•Ensure that the cordless charger base is powered up.
•Place the cordless handset in the charging base for one minute to allow the cordless handset and base to synchronize.
•Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. You might have moved out of range.
•Reset the telephone base. Unplug the electrical power. Wait for 15 seconds then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and answering machine base station to reset.
•Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can cause interference with your cordless telephone. Try installing your telephone as far away as possible from these types of electronic devices.
I experience poor sound quality when using the speakerphone
•For increased sound quality while using the speakerphone, place the handset on a flat surface with the dial pad facing up.
•When using a speakerphone, controlling background noise in your environment is essential. While you are listening to your party, press MUTE/X to temporarily turn your microphone off. When it is your turn to speak, remember to press MUTE/X again to turn the microphone on.
•Excessive background noise will cause a speakerphone to fade in and out.
•Try controlling the background noise by turning off any audio devices near the speaker- phone. Also, try to avoid interrupting the person at the other end of the conversation while they are speaking. If background noise cannot be controlled, you should terminate speakerphone operation and return to normal handset mode.
My cordless handset does not ring when I receive a call
•Make sure that the ringer is not turned off.
•Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged securely into the answering machine and the telephone wall jack. Make sure the power cord is securely connected to an electrical outlet.
•The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone base.
•Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to the telephone base or charger when not in use.
