is plugged firmly into the base unit
and the telephone jack.

•
If the above suggestions do not solve
the problem, try resetting the security
code (see next section).
If you hear a two-beep signal when you
try to use the handset
•
The handset and base are not
communicating properly. You might
be out of range while attempting to
dial. Move closer to the base and try
the call again.
•
If moving closer to the base
does not help, the handset and base
might be set to different security
codes.
To reset the security code, try
the following:
•
Place the handset in the base, and
check to make sure the CHARGING
light is on. Wait 15 seconds, then
pick up the handset and press
P. The phone should operate
properly. If it does not, try the next
step.
•
Place the handset in the base, and
check to make sure the CHARGING
light is on. Unplug the AC adapter
from the outlet, wait 15 seconds,
then plug it in again. The CHARG-
ING light should go on. Wait
another 15 seconds, then pick up
the handset and press P. The
phone should operate properly. If it
does not, try the next step.

make sure the CHARGING light is
on. Wait another 15 seconds, then
pick up the handset and press P.
The phone should operate properly.
If you have no dial tone, check all the
previous suggestions. If you still do not
hear a dial tone, disconnect the phone and
try another phone in the same jack. If there
is no dial tone on that phone either, the
problem is probably in your wiring or
local service. Call your local telephone
service company.

ing the phone

the same circuit as the base can
sometimes cause interference. Try
moving the appliance or the base
to another outlet.

range. Try moving the base to another
location, preferably on an upper floor.

If you hear other calls while using the
phone
