• If the battery is depleted, it may take approximately 30 minutes to charge the handset
before it shows LOW BATTERY, refer to Battery charging on page 5 for details.
• You may need to purchase a new battery. Please refer to Battery installation on
page 4.
The charge light is off.
• Make sure the power cord is plugged in correctly and securely.
• Make sure the battery is installed correctly in the handset. Follow the instructions in
Battery installation on page 4 to install the battery.
• Unplug the electrical power. Wait for 5 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to
one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base to reset.
• Clean the cordless handset and telephone base charging contacts each month using
a pencil eraser or cloth.
I get noise, static, or weak signals even when I'm near the telephone base.
• If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line) through
your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord
and the telephone wall jack (see Installation on page 3). The filter prevents noise
and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service
provider for more information about DSL filters.
• Other electronic products, such as computers, wireless routers, microwave ovens
and other cordless telephones can interfere with the performance of your cordless
telephone. You may be able to improve the performance of your telephone by
installing the telephone base as far away as possible from other electronic devices.
• Do not install this telephone near a microwave oven or on the same electrical outlet.
You may experience decreased performance while the microwave oven is operating.
• 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, relocate your telephone or modem farther apart from one another, or
use a different surge protector.
• Relocate your telephone to a higher location. The telephone will likely have better
reception when installed in a high area.
• If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in
your wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges
may apply).
I experience poor sound quality when using the speakerphone.
• For increased sound quality while using the speakerphone, place the handset on a
flat surface with the dial pad facing up.
