Why is there static on my Panasonic KX-TG5438S Answering Machine?
- T
  Terry ButlerAug 26, 2025
  If you're experiencing static or sound cutting in and out on your Panasonic Answering Machine, it could be due to interference from other electrical units. Try moving the handset and base unit away from other appliances. You can also try moving closer to the base unit, raising the base unit antennas, or turning on the clarity booster feature. If you have xDSL service, consider connecting a noise filter between the base unit and the telephone line jack.

Why doesn't my Panasonic KX-TG5438S display caller ID?

  John McguireAug 27, 2025
  If your Panasonic Answering Machine handset isn't displaying the caller's name or number, it could be due to several reasons. First, you may not have subscribed to Caller ID service, so contact your telephone company. If you have additional telephone equipment connected, disconnect the unit and plug it directly into the wall jack. If you have xDSL service, use a noise filter. The name display service may not be available in your area. Other telephone equipment may be interfering. The caller may have requested not to send caller information or if a call is being transferred. Generally caller information is displayed from the 2nd ring.

  If you cannot hear a dial tone on your Panasonic Answering Machine, first confirm that the telephone line cord is properly connected. If it is, disconnect the unit and connect a known working telephone. If the working telephone operates properly, contact service personnel to have the unit repaired. If the working telephone does not operate properly, contact your telephone company.

What to do if Panasonic KX-TG5438S Answering Machine says 'No link to base'?
- M
  Mr. Jeffrey HarrellAug 28, 2025
  If your Panasonic Answering Machine displays “No link to base” and an alarm sounds, try moving closer to the base unit. Also, make sure the base unit’s AC adapter is plugged in and the base unit antennas are raised. If the issue persists, the handset may have lost communication with the base unit; in this case, you may need to register the handset again.

  Kathleen SmithAug 29, 2025
  If you cannot program items on your Panasonic Answering Machine, keep in mind that programming is not possible while the handset and base unit are in use. Also, avoid pausing for over 1 minute while programming. Try moving closer to the base unit. You cannot program while another user is listening to messages or the answering system is answering a call; try again later.

  If you cannot make a call on your Panasonic Answering Machine, the dialing mode may be set incorrectly. Set the dial mode to match your telephone service type (tone or pulse). If the base unit or another handset is in use, try again later. If you are listening to messages on the handset, exit by pressing {OFF}.
