Troubleshooting

Caller ID entries do not match the numbers I need to dial.

•Caller ID service delivers 10 digits (the area code plus the seven-digits number). If you need to dial something other than 10 digits, see page 22 for instructions on changing the number.

•If you dial seven digits for local calls you might want to use the Home area code feature (page 12).

CONNECTING... shows in the handset screen.

•The handset might be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base.

•Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Use a working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

•Reset your telephone by unplugging the power adapter from the telephone base. Disconnect the battery from the cordless handset. Wait for 15 seconds, then plug in the power adapter and re-install the battery. Place the handset in the telephone base and allow up to one minute for the handset and telephone base to synchronize.

•Other electronic products might prevent your handset and telephone base from communicating with each other. Install your telephone base as far away from these electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, cellular telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless telephones.
