TROUBLESHOOTING

We do not expect you to have any problems with your TAD-729, but if you do, these
suggestions might help.
Problem
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 (hand-
set's range has decreased).
The phone does not work or
works poorly.
The handset battery pack does
not charge.
The handset does not ring or
receive a page.
34
Suggestion
Someone has picked up another phone on the same
line. Hang up the other phone.
Press DEL/CH to change the channel.
Keep the handset away from computers, remote control
toys, wireless microphones, alarm systems, intercoms,
room monitors, fluorescent lights, and electrical appli-
ances.
Move the handset to another location or turn off the
source of interference.
Lift the base's antenna to a vertical position.
Be sure neither antenna is touching a metal surface.
Return the handset to the cradle, and recharge the bat-
tery pack. Replace the battery pack if necessary (see
"Replacing the Battery Pack" on Page 37).
Be sure the base's phone line cord and AC adapter are
correctly and securely connected, and the battery pack
is charged.
Check the charging contacts on the handset and base. If
they are dirty, clean them with a pencil eraser.
Be sure the battery pack is connected correctly.
Replace the battery pack.
Move the base away from other electrical devices and
sources of noise.
