Operating Range
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office. For best performance, keep the base antenna fully upright.

If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might hear noise or interference.
To improve reception, move closer to the base.

If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:
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.
