I cannot dial
out.
Make sure there is a dial
tone before dialing. It
is normal if the handset
takes a second or two
to synchronize with the
telephone base before
producing a dial tone.
Wait an extra second
before dialing.
Eliminate any background
noise. Mute the handset
before dialing, or dial
from another room in
your home with less
background noise.
The display

Place the handset in
the telephone base or
charger for charging.
The battery
does not charge
in the handset
or the handset
battery does
not accept
charge.
Make sure the handset is
placed in the telephone
base or charger correctly.
If the battery is
completely depleted,
charge the battery for at
least 30 minutes before
use.
You may need to
purchase a new battery.
The telephone
does not ring
when there is an
incoming call.

volume is not set to off.

far from the telephone
base. Move it closer to the
telephone base.
My handset
beeps and is
not performing
normally.
Move the handset closer
to the telephone base. It
may be out of range.
I hear other calls
when using the
telephone.
Disconnect the telephone
base from the telephone
wall jack. Plug in a different
telephone. If you still hear
other calls, the problem is
probably in the wiring or
telephone service. Contact
your telephone service
provider.
I hear noise on
the cordless
handset and
the keys do not
work.
Make sure the telephone
line cord is plugged in
securely.

If you subscribe to
high-speed Internet service
(DSL - digital subscriber
line) through your
telephone line, you must
install a DSL filter between
the telephone line cord
and the telephone wall
jack. The filter prevents
noise and caller ID
problems caused by DSL
interference. Contact your
DSL service provider for
more information about
DSL filters.
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.
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
office, away from walls
or other obstructions.
In many environments,
elevating the telephone
base improves overall
performance.
The telephone
does not
receive caller
ID or the
telephone does
not show caller
ID during call
waiting.
Caller ID is a subscription
service. You must
subscribe to this service
from your telephone
service provider for this
feature to work on your
telephone.
Both your and the caller’s
telephone service
providers must use
equipment compatible
with the caller ID service.
The caller may not be
calling from an area which
supports caller ID.
The caller ID information
displays after the first or
second ring.
The display
shows Out of
range or no pwr
at base.
The handset may be out
of range. Move it closer to
the telephone base.
Make sure the power
cord is securely plugged
into the telephone base.
Use a working electrical
outlet not controlled by a
wall switch.
