Troubleshooting Problem Suggestion The battery does not charge in the handset or Low Battery is constantly displayed on the handset. • Make sure the handset is placed in the telephone base or charger correctly. The charge light on the handset should be on. • Remove the battery from the handset and install it in the spare battery compartment at the bottom of the telephone base and let it charge for up to 24 hours. Then re-install the charged battery into the handset.
Troubleshooting Problem There is no dial tone. Suggestion • First, try all the above suggestions. • Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It might be out of range. I cannot dial out. • Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing on the HOME line. It is normal if the handset takes a second or two to synchronize with the telephone before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.
Troubleshooting Problem Suggestion The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call. • Make sure the ringer is on. • Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter(s) are plugged in properly. • The handset may be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer to the telephone base. • There may be too many extension phones on the telephone line to allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging some of them.
Troubleshooting Suggestion There is interference during a telephone conversation. • The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base. -OR- • Other electronic products can cause interference to your telephone. Try installing your telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, and other cordless telephones.
Troubleshooting 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 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.
Troubleshooting Suggestion The system does not receive caller ID or the system does not display caller ID during call waiting. • Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting feature services provided by the local telephone company. • 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.
