  If your Toshiba Cordless Telephone handset does not ring or receive a page, it might be due to the handset being too far from the base or the battery being discharged; return the handset to the base to charge when you are finished with your call. Alternatively, the digital security code might have changed; remove the handset from the base unit, press and hold the PAGE button, and while the handset is emitting a signal, return it to the base unit.

Why does the battery pack on my Toshiba Cordless Telephone drain quickly?

  Ronald AdamsAug 26, 2025
  If the battery pack on your Toshiba Cordless Telephone becomes low quickly, it could be because the battery was not fully charged during the initial charging. To resolve this, charge the battery for 12 to 16 hours without any interruption. If the battery is several years old, it may also be the cause; in this case, replace it with a new battery.

  The Toshiba Cordless Telephone may not display Caller ID/Call Waiting data for several reasons. First, ensure that you have subscribed to Caller ID/Caller ID on Call Waiting services with your local telephone company. You might also be answering the call too quickly; let the phone ring twice before answering. Additionally, the battery may not be fully charged; ensure the battery is fully charged.
