telephone.
• Make sure you plug in the telephone line
cord securely into the telephone base and
the telephone jack. Make sure you plug in
the power cord securely.
• The cordless handset may be too far from
the telephone base.
• Charge the battery in the cordless handset
for at least 16 hours. For optimum daily
performance, return the cordless handset to
the telephone base or charger when not in
use.
• You may have too many extension phones
on your telephone line to allow all of them
to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging some
of the other phones.
• The layout of your home or office might
be limiting the operating range. Try moving
the telephone base to another location,
preferably on an upper floor.
• If the other phones in your home are having
the same problem, contact your local
telephone company (charges might apply).
• Test a working phone at the phone jack.
If another phone has the same problem,
contact your local telephone company
(charges might apply).
