Problem
Handset does not ring or receive a
page.
The handset stops working or works
poorly during a call.
If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line
work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the prob-
lem, take your phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
Suggestion
• Return the handset to the cradle to
recharge the battery pack.
• Lift the base's antenna to a fully verti-
cal position.
• Move the handset closer to the base.
• Move the base away from other elec-
trical devices.
• Move the handset closer to the base.
• Be sure the handset's battery pack is
charged. (If the battery pack power is
too low, it does not have enough
power to light the TALK/BATT LOW
indicator.)
• Lift the base's antenna to a fully verti-
cal position.
• Make sure the charging contacts on
the handset and base are clean.
• If the base lost power while the hand-
set was off of it, the security access-
protection code might have changed.
Remove the handset from the base (if
it is on the base). Restore power to
the base, then place the handset back
on the base. The CHARGE indicator
lights, indicating that the code is set
again.
