I'm using
my cordless
handset
• Test a working phone at the phone jack. If
another phone has the same problem, the
problem is the phone jack. Contact your local
telephone company (charges may apply).
• Other electronic products can cause
interference with your cordless phone. Try
installing your phone as far away as possible
from electronic devices like television sets,
VCRs, or other cordless telephones.
• Re-install the battery, and place cordless
handset in the telephone base. Wait for
the cordless handset to re-establish its
connection with the telephone base. Allow
up to one minute for this to take place.
• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try
installing a new line cord.
• Other electronic products can cause
interference with your cordless phone. Try
installing your phone as far away from the
following electronic devices as possible:
television sets, VCRs, or other cordless
telephones.
• Do not install this phone near a microwave
oven or on the same electrical outlet. You
may experience decreased performance
while the microwave oven is operating.
• If your phone is plugged in with a modem or
surge protector, plug the phone (or modem/
surge protector) into a different location. If
this solves the problem, re-locate your phone
or modem farther apart from one another, or
use a different surge protector.
