Troubleshooting
My cordless 
handset isn’t 
performing 
normally.
•  Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the 
telephone base. Plug the unit into a different, working 
electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
•  Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. 
You might have moved out of range.
•  Reset the telephone base. Unplug the unit’s 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 can cause interference to 
your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far 
away from these types of electronic devices as possible: 
television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.
•   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 dial-
ing, or dialing from another room in your home with less 
background noise.
•   If the other phones in your home are having the same 
problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service. 
Contact your telephone service provider (charges may 
apply).
