Troubleshooting Resetting the Handset You.may.need.to.reset.your.handset.in.the.following.instances:. • You.lose.a.handset.and.purchase.a.new.one.. • When.you.try.and.register.to.your.existing.base,.you.see.REGISTRATION.FAILED.on.the.menu.display.. • You.are.unable.to.register.any.handsets.to.the.base.. • You.had.a.base.which.needed.to.be.exchanged.by.the.manufacturer. • When.you.register.your.existing.handsets.to.the.base,.and.the.handset.IDs.do.not.match..(For.example,.the. handset.registers.as.Handset.#4,.but.you.only.have.two.handsets.) • When.you.are.instructed.to.by.the.one.of.the.manufacturer’s.call.center.representatives.. -

Resetting the Handset without the Base If.your.original.base.is.not.available.for.some.reason.(for.example,.it.is. lost.or.somehow.incapacitated),.you.can.still.reset.the.handset.and.use.it. with.another.base.. Press.and.hold.[ ] and.[#/>] for.at.least.5.seconds.until.the. -
Page 49: Changing.the.digital.security.code
The digital security code is an identification code used to connect the handset and the base unit. Your unit ships from the.manufacturer.with.a.preset.security.code..Resetting.this.code.is.not.normally.necessary..In.the.rare.situation.that. you.suspect.another.cordless.telephone.is.using.the.same.security.code.or.if.you.are.instructed.to.change.this.code. by.a.manufacturer’s.Call.Center.Representative,.you.can.change.the.code..To.change.the.digital.security.code: Reset.all.handsets.(see.page.5). Re-register.each.handset.by.following.the.steps.on.page.4. Traveling Out of Range During.a.call,.as.you.begin.to.move.your.handset.too.far.from.your.base.unit,.noise.may.increase..If.you.pass.the. range.limits.of.the.base.unit,.you.hear.a.beep.and.see.OUT.OF.RANGE.on.the.display,.and.then.the.handset.returns. to.standby..You.may.return.to.the.call.if.you.move.your.handset.within.the.range.limits.of.the.base.and.press. [ /flash] or.[ ].within.30.seconds. Common Issues If your phone is not performing to your expectations, please try these simple steps first. If these steps do not solve your.problem,.please.call.our.Customer.Hotline.(see.back.cover.for.contact.information). - Page 50 Symptom Can’t.make.or.receive.calls. The.handset.doesn’t.ring.or. receive.a.page. Severe.noise.interference. The.Caller.ID.does.not.dis- play. You.cannot.register.the.hand- set.at.the.base. The.handset.doesn’t.commu- nicate.with.other.handsets. An.extra.handset.can’t.join. the.conversation. Suggestion • Make.sure.you.are.not.too.far.from.the.base. • Make.sure.the.line.is.not.in.use..If.an.outside.call.is.already.using.a.line,. you.cannot.use.that.line.to.make.another.outside.call. • Check.both.ends.of.the.base.telephone.line.cord. • Make.sure.the.AC.adapter.is.plugged.into.the.base.and.wall.outlet. • Disconnect.the.AC.adapter.and.reconnect. • Change.the.Digital.Security.Code.(see.page.49). • Make.sure.that.you.are.not.too.far.from.the.base. • Charge.the.battery.in.the.handset.for.15.to.0.hours.by.placing.the.handset. on.the.base.or.charging.cradle. • Change.the.Digital.Security.Code.(see.page.49). • Keep.the.handset.away.from.microwave.ovens,.computers,.remote.control. toys, wireless microphones, alarm systems, intercoms, room monitors, flu- orescent.lights,.and.electrical.appliances.
