Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base unit can sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base unit to another outlet.

You Get Noise, Static, or a Weak Signal When You're Away From the Base Unit.

You may be out of range. Either move closer to the base, or relocate the base unit.

The layout of your home may be limiting the range. Try moving the base unit to the second or third floor, or to some other location.

The Handset Does Not Ring When You Receive a Call.

Make sure the ringer is turned on.

Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

You may be too far from the base unit.
