Troubleshooting
The batteries does
not hold a charge.
I get noise, static,
or weak signals
even when
I'm near the
telephone base.
• If the cordless handset is in the telephone
base or charger and the charge light is not
on, refer to The charge light is off in this
Troubleshooting guide.
• Charge the battery in the cordless handset
for at least 16 hours. For optimum daily
performance, return the cordless handset to
the telephone base or charger when not in
use.
• If the battery is depleted, it might take
approximately four minutes to charge the
handset before it can resume display on the
screen.
• You might need to purchase a new battery.
Please refer to Battery installation &
charging in this user's manual on pages 5-6.
• If you subscribe to high-speed Internet
service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through
your telephone lines, you must install a DSL
filter between the telephone base and the
telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise
and caller ID problems as a result of DSL
interference. Please contact your DSL service
provider for more information about DSL
filters.
• You may be able to improve the
performance of your cordless phone by
installing your new telephone base as far
as possible from any other existing cordless
telephone system that may already be
installed.
