Problem Suggestion
I hear other calls while
using my phone.
• Disconnect your base unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a regular telephone. If you
still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your local
telephone company.
My handset does not
ring when I receive
a call.
• Make sure you have the ringer activated. Refer to the section(s) on ringer selection in this
user’s manual.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged rmly 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.
• Charge the battery in the handset for 16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the
handset to its base when not in use.
• You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring.
Try unplugging some of the other phones.
• The layout of your home or ofce might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the base
to another location, preferably on an upper oor.
• If the other phones in your home are having the issue, the problem is in your wiring or local
service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply.)
• Test a working phone at the phone jack. If another phone has the same problem, the problem
is the phone jack. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply.)
• Other electronic products can cause interference with your cordless phone. Try installing
your phone as far away from these types of electronic devices as possible: wireless routers,
radios, radio towers, pager towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal
computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless phones
• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new line cord.
