Troubleshooting
I get noise or static when I use the telephone base.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber 
line) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL lter between the 
telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (page 4). The lter prevents 
noise and caller ID problems as a result of DSL interference. Please contact 
your DSL service provider for more information about DSL lters.
Do not install this phone near a microwave oven or on the same electrical 
outlet. You may experience decreased performance while the microwave 
oven is operating.
If you plug your phone in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the 
phone (or modem/surge protector) into a dierent location. If this does not 
solve the problem, relocate your phone or modem farther apart from one 
another, or use a dierent surge protector.
If other phones in your home are having the same problem, contact your 
telephone service provider (charges may apply).
My caller ID isn’t working.
Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from 
your telephone service provider for this feature to work on your phone.
The call may not be calling from an area that supports caller ID.
Both your and your caller’s telephone service providers must use caller ID 
compatible equipment.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber 
line) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL lter between the 
telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (page 4). The lter prevents 
noise and caller ID problems resulting from DSL interference. Please 
contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL lters.
System does not receive caller ID when on a call.
Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features from your 
telephone service provider. Caller ID features works only if both you and the 
caller are in areas oering caller ID service, and if both telephone service 
providers use compatible equipment.
Incomplete messages.
If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the system 
disconnects the call aer the recordings exceed the maximum recording 
time (page 39). 
If the caller pauses for longer than three seconds, the system stops 
recording and disconnects the call.
