equipment.
Please contact the technical support of the network provider for further information. This
telephone is not equipped with a grounding function! Therefore some of the functions
may be limited when used in PBX systems.
• Other electronic products may cause interference to your
cordless telephone. Install your telephone as far away as
possible from the following electronic devices: wireless
routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular
telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors,
televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances,
and other cordless telephones.
• If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge
protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protector) into
a different location. If this doesn't solve the problem, re-locate
your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or
use a different surge protector.
• The location of your telephone base can impact the
performance of your cordless phone. For better reception,
install the telephone base in a centralized location within
your home or office, away from walls or other obstructions. In
many environments, elevating the telephone base improves
overall performance.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack
and plug in a corded telephone. If calls are still not clear,
the problem is probably in the wiring or telephone service.
Contact your telephone service provider (charges might
apply).
• If the other telephones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in the wiring or telephone service.
Contact your telephone service provider (charges may
apply).
If the telephone is not responding normally, put the handset in
the telephone base. If it does not respond, try the following (in the
order listed):
• Disconnect the power to the telephone base.
• Disconnect the batteries on the handset.
• Wait a few minutes before connecting power to the
telephone base.
• Re-install the batteries 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.
