My handset does not ring when I receive a call
•Make sure that the ringer is not turned off. Refer to the section(s) on ringer selection in this user’s manual.
•Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged securely into the telephone base and the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.
•The handset may be too far from the telephone base.
•Charge the battery in the handset for at least 16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the handset to the telephone base or 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 on an upper floor.
•If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).
