Troubleshooting
Test a working telephone at the telephone wall jack. If another telephone has the
same problem, the problem is in the telephone wall jack. Contact your telephone
service provider (charges may apply).
The telephone line cord may be malfunctioning. Install a new telephone line cord.
Reinstall the battery and place the handset in the telephone base.
Wait for the handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute
for this to take place.
My handset beeps and is not performing normally.
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug the
telephone base into a different working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It may be out of range.
Reset the telephone base by unplugging the electrical power to the base. Wait for 15
seconds and plug it back in again. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset
and the telephone base to synchronize.
Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone.
Install your telephone as far away from these electronic devices as possible:
wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, intercoms,
room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and other
cordless telephones.
There is interference during a telephone conversation.
My calls fade out when I am using the cordless handset.
The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through
your telephone lines, you must install a DSL lter between the telephone line cord
and the telephone wall jack. The lter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused
by DSL interference. Contact your DSL service provider for more information about
DSL lters.
Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the
telephone base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone base
to another outlet.
Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Install
your telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless
routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones,
intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances,
and other cordless telephones.
If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone
(or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesn’t solve the problem,
relocate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different
surge protector.
The location of your telephone base can impact the performance of your cordless
phone. For better reception, install the telephone base in a centralized location within
your home or ofce, away from walls or other obstructions. In many environments,
elevating the telephone base improves overall performance.
