Troubleshooting
The CHARGE light is off.
• Clean the charging contacts on the handset and telephone base each month with a
pencil eraser or a dry non-abrasive fabric.
• Make sure the power adapter and telephone line cord are plugged in correctly and
securely (page 2).
• Unplug the power adapter. Wait for 15 seconds before plugging it back in. Allow up to
one minute for the handset and telephone base to reset.
The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call.
• Make sure the handset ringer volume is not set to off (page 10).
• Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in properly (page 2).
• The handset may be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer to the
telephone base. There may be too many extension phones on the telephone line to
allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Unplug some of them.
• If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the
wiring or local service. Contact your telephone service provider.
• Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can cause
interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away as possible
from these types of electronic devices.
• Test a working telephone at the telephone wall jack. If another telephone has the same
problem, the problem is in the telephone wall jack. Contact your telephone
service provider.
• The telephone line cord may be defective. Install a new telephone line cord.
• Remove and install the battery again, and place the handset in the telephone base
or charger.
• Wait for the handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for
this to take place.

My handset beeps and is not performing normally.

• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug the
telephone base into a different working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
• Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It may be out of range.
• Reset the telephone base by unplugging the electrical power to the base. Wait for 15
seconds and plug it back in again. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and
telephone base to synchronize.
• Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can cause
interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away as possible
from these types of electronic devices.
