unsuccessful.
The handset

PRESS HNDST
LOC 4 SEC ON
BASE and the
handset is out of
the charger.
• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a
television, radio or other appliances might cause the
phone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate
the background noise, first try muting the cordless
handset before dialing, or dialing from another room
with less background noise.
• If the other phones in your home are having the same
problem, contact your telephone service provider
(charges might apply).
• Make sure you plug the power cord securely into the
telephone base. Plug the power adapter into a different,
working electrical outlet without a wall switch.
• Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone
base. You might have moved out of range.
• Reset the telephone base. Unplug the electrical power.
Wait for 15 seconds then plug it back in. Allow up to
one minute for the cordless handset and telephone
base to reset.
• Other electronic products can cause interference to
your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far
away from these types of electronic devices as possible:
television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.
Follow the steps below to re-register the handset.
1. Make sure the handset is out of the charger and shows
NOT REGISTERED before you begin registration.
2. Press and hold
about four seconds (until the red IN USE light on the
telephone base is on) and then release the button.
3. Place the unregistered handset into the charger.
Refer to the handset registration section on page 67 for
details.
Unplug the battery from the handset and plug it back in
(page 8). The screen should now show NOT REGISTERED
and you can follow the registration instructions on
page 67.
