handset to its base when not in use

Try unplugging some of the other phones
• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the base to
another location, preferably on an upper floor.
• If the other phones in your home are having the issue, the problem is in your wiring or local

is the phone jack Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply )
