• Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly
(page 7). For optimum daily performance, return the cord-
less handset to the telephone base after use.
• Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an
outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into
the telephone base and the modular wall jack.
• Unplug the telephone's electrical power. Wait for approx-
imately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one
minute for the cordless handset and base to synchronize.
• Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least
16 hours.
• Remove and re-insert the battery. If that still does not work,
it may be necessary to purchase a new battery.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack
and plug in a working telephone. If this telephone does
not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the
local service. Call the local telephone company.
• Place the handset in the base for recharging.
• Remove and re-install the battery and use it normally
until fully discharged, then recharge the handset on the
telephone base for 16 hours.
• If the above measures do not correct the problem, the
battery may need to be replaced.
• Make sure the handset is placed in the telephone base
correctly. The CHARGE light on the telephone base should
be on.
• If the cordless handset is in the telephone base but the
CHARGE light is not on, refer to The CHARGE light is off in
this section.
• It may be necessary to purchase a new battery. Please refer
to the batteries section of this user's manual.
• The telephone might be malfunctioning. Please refer to
the Limited warranty section of this user's manual for
further instruction.
