Problem Suggestion
I hear other calls when 
using the telephone.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack. Plug in a different telephone. If you 
still hear  other  calls, the  problem  is  probably  in the  wiring or local  service. Call  your  local 
telephone company.

I hear noise in the 
cordless handset, and 
none of the keys or 
buttons work.
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged in securely.•
My caller ID features are 
not working properly.
Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from your local telephone 
company for this feature to work on your telephone.
The caller may not be calling from an area which supports caller ID.
Both you and the caller’s telephone companies must use equipment  which are compatible 
with caller ID service.
If you subscribe to DSL service, install a DSL lter to the telephone line between the telephone 
base and the telephone line jack. Contact your DSL service provider for lter information.
