EVERYDAY USE I cannot make or answer calls. * Check that the base unit’s mains power adapter is plugged in and power is switched on. The base unit needs mains power for normal operation of the phone --not just for charging the batteries. * Make sure you’re using the telephone line cable that was supplied with your PDX-5200.

There is interference, noise or echoing on the line. * Move the handset closer to the base unit, or to a different position. * Try moving the base unit so that it’s not near other electrical equipment, such as a TV or a computer. If you are using a routing box (smart socket), try disconnecting it then making a call.
BATTERIES The handset’s batteries are running low within an hour or two. * Before you first used the handset, you should have left it on the base unit or charger pod for up to 15 hours to charge the batteries fully. * You may need to replace the batteries (see overleaf).
Remote operation doesn’t work. * Make sure you are using the correct security code. If you key in the wrong code, your call will be cut off. * Check that you are using a suitable tone-dialling phone. Some cordless or mobile phones do not generate continuous tones and so are not ideal for remote operation.
