Appendix
The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call.
• Make sure the handset ringer volume is not turned off (page 18).
• Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in
properly (page 6).
• The handset might be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer
to the telephone base.
• There might be too many extension phones on the telephone line to
allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Unplug some of them.
• If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem,
the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact the local
telephone company (charges might apply).
• Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless
telephone. Install your telephone as far away as possible from
electronic devices such as: wireless routers, radios, cellular
telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions,
VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, and other cordless
telephones.
• Test a working telephone at the telephone wall jack. If another
telephone has the same problem, the problem is in the telephone
wall jack. Contact your local telephone company (charges might
apply).
• The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Install a new
telephone line cord.
• Re-install the battery and place the handset in the telephone base.
• Wait for the handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow
up to one minute for this to take place.
I cannot dial out.
• First, try all the above suggestions.
• Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the
handset takes a second or two to synchronize with the telephone
before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.
