TROUBLESHOOTING

We do not expect you to have any problems with your ET-1104, but if you do, the fol-
lowing suggestions might help.
Problem
The phone does not work or works
poorly.
The handset stops working or works
poorly during a call.
Low volume or unusual sounds.
Severe noise interference.
The phone cannot be operated at a
useful distance from the base
because the signal becomes weak or
noisy (handset's range has
decreased).

Suggestion
Be sure the base's phone line cord and AC
adapter are correctly and securely con-
nected, and the battery pack in the handset
is charged.
Return the handset to the base for a few
seconds to reset the security access-pro-
tection code.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Lift the base's antenna to a fully vertical
position.
Be sure the handset's battery pack is
charged. (If the battery pack power is too
low, it does not have enough power to light
the LOW BATT indicator.)
Someone has picked up another phone on
the same line. Hang up the other phone.
Keep the handset and base away from
computers, remote control toys, wireless
microphones, alarm systems, intercoms,
room monitors, fluorescent lights, and elec-
trical appliances.
Move to another location or turn off the
source of interference.
Hang up and redial the number.
Lift the base's antenna to a fully vertical
position.
Be sure neither the handset or base
antenna is touching a metal surface.
Recharge the battery pack.
