If the phone doesn’t work at all, check these items first:
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet not controlled
by a wall switch.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit
and the modular jack.
• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.
• If the handset does not beep when you press PHONE , the battery
might need charging.
• Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly.
• If you have dial pulse (rotary) service on your phone line, make sure
the dial mode is set to dial pulse (see INSTALLATION).
• Microwave appliances may cause interference with this phone. If you
experience interference, move away from the microwave.
If the above suggestions don’t solve the problem, try
re-initializing the handset and base:
1 Disconnect the power to the base.
2 Remove the handset battery pack.
3 Wait a few minutes.
4 Connect the power to the base.
5 Insert the handset battery pack.
6 Put the handset in the base to re-initialize.
If you hear a two-beep signal when you try to use the handset:
• You might be out of range. Move closer to the base and try again.
• If moving closer to the base doesn’t help, try following the directions
above for re-initializing the handset and base.
If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:
• Make sure the handset ringer is on.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is connected firmly to the base
and the telephone jack.
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged firmly into an outlet not controlled
by a wall switch.
• You might be too far from the base; move closer.
• You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to
allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.
