Single Audio Path Mutes

Ringing from another line may briefly mute a conversation since this product is designed with a single audio path. This is a normal occurence.

Chirping Sounds

If chirping sounds are detected from the handset or base, check the following possible causes:

·Smoke detectors

·Other cordless telephones ·Alarm clocks

To enable the unit to work with business systems: ·Install the unit at the control box, or

·Wire a jack around the system.

NOTE: Unit will not have business system features if installed in this manner. Check with the local telephone company to inquire as to possible low line voltage. NOTE: The recommended voltage is 24 to 48 on hook.

Due to reduced line voltage, avoid having additional extension telephones "off the hook" during a call.

2.Leave handset face down on a towel to dry for 72 hours.

3.If handset does not operate after 72 hours, send it in for repair.
