Troubleshooting
I cannot dial out.
•
Try all the suggestions, as mentioned above.
•
Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The cordless handset
may take a second or two to find the telephone base and produce a
dial tone. This is normal. Wait an extra second before dialing.
•
Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio or other
appliances may cause the phone to not dial out properly. If you cannot
eliminate the background noise, first try muting the cordless handset
before dialing, or dialing from another room with less background noise.
•
If other phones in your home are having the same problem, contact
your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
My cordless handset isn't performing normally.
•
Make sure you plug the power cord securely into the telephone base.
Plug the power adapter into a different working electrical outlet without
a wall switch.
•
Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. You may have
moved out of range.
•
Reset the telephone base. Unplug the electrical power. Wait for 15
seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless
handset and telephone base to reset.
•
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.
The batteries do not hold a charge.
•
Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 10 hours.
For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to the
telephone base or charger when not in use.
•
If the battery is depleted, it may take approximately 30 minutes to
charge the handset before it shows Low battery. Refer to the table on
page 6 for details.
•
You may need to purchase a new battery. Please refer to Battery
installation and charging in this user's manual on pages 6-8.
