I hear other calls while using my phone.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone
jack, and plug in a different telephone. If you still hear
other calls, call your telephone
service provider.
My cordless handset does not ring when I receive a call.
• Make sure that the ringer is not off. Refer to Ringer
volume section.
• 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 12 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 ofice may be limiting the
•
operating range. Try moving the telephone base to
another location, preferably to a higher location.
• If other phones in your home are having the same
problem, contact your telephone service provider
(charges may apply).
