the modular jack.

need charging.

• If you have dial pulse (rotary) service on your phone line, make sure the dial
mode is set to Pulse (see INSTALLATION).

you experience interference, move away from the microwave
If the above suggestions don’t solve the problem, try re-initializing the
Handset and Base:

2 Remove the Handset battery pack.
3 Wait a few minutes.
4 Connect the power to the Base.
5 Insert the Handset battery pack.
6 Put the Handset in the Base to re-initialize.
If you hear a two-beep signal when you try to use the handset:
• You might be out of range. Move closer to the Base and try again.
• If moving closer to the Base doesn’t help, try following the directions above
for re-initializing the Handset and Base.

• Make sure the Handset ringer is on.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is connected firmly to the Base and the
telephone jack.
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged firmly into an outlet not controlled by a
wall switch.
• You might be too far from the Base; move closer.

all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them
.
If you hear noise or interference when using the phone:
