In Case Of Difficulty
Your Handset vibrates or shakes when a call comes in
It is likely that your Vibrating Handset Ringer option has been set to ON. If you'd like
•
to turn it off, see the section on Sounds & Alerts - Ringer Control in this User's manual.
You hear other calls while using your phone
Disconnect your Base Unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a regular telephone. If you
•
still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your local
telephone company.
You hear noise in the Handset, and none of the keys or buttons work
• Make sure the power cord is plugged in.
Common cure for electronic equipment
If the unit does not seem to be responding normally, then try putting the Handset in the
cradle. If it does not seem to respond, do the following (in the order listed):
1. Disconnect the power to the Base.
2. Disconnect the Handset battery cells, and spare battery cells, if applicable.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Connect power to the Base.
5. Re-install the battery cells.
6. Wait for the Handset to re-establish its link with the Base. To be safe, allow up to
one minute for this to take place.
