• Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for approximately
5 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset
and telephone base to synchronize.
• Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least  hours. For optimum
daily performance, return the cordless handset to the handset charger after use.
• If the battery is completely depleted, charge the cordless handset for at least
30 minutes before use.
• Remove and install the battery again. If that still does not work, it may be
necessary to purchase a new battery.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working
telephone. If the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the
wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.

• Try all the above suggestions.
• Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the handset takes a
second or two to synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial
tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.
• If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in
the wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges
may apply).

machine memory is full, it does not record new messages until some old

answering system answers before your voicemail answers. To determine how
many rings activate your voicemail, contact your telephone service provider.
• If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting
the fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine
documentation for information on compatibility with answering systems.
The messages on the answering system are incomplete.
• If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the answering
system disconnects the call after the preset recording time.
• If the memory on the answering system becomes full during a message, the
answering system stops recording and disconnects the call.
• If the caller's voice is very soft, the answering system may stop recording and
disconnect the call.
