TROUBLESHOOTING

We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, the follow-
ing suggestions might help.
Problem
The phone does not work or works poorly.
The display flashes slowly when the hand-
set is faceup on the base.
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.
Be sure the battery pack in the handset is
connected and charged.
Return the handset to the base for a few
seconds to reset the security access-protec-
tion code.
Be sure the battery pack in the handset is
properly connected.
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
Low Battery on the display.)
Someone has picked up another phone on
the same line. Hang up the other phone.
Keep the handset away from computers,
remote control toys, wireless microphones,
alarm systems, intercoms, room monitors,
fluorescent lights, and electrical 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's nor base's
antenna is touching a metal surface.
Recharge the battery pack.
