If it is more convenient for you to do so, you can leave the handset in the base all the time. It is impossible to overcharge the batteries.
If the bat t e ries don’t ch a rge pro p e rly :
If you get a low-battery signal even after 16 hours of charging, the battery should be replaced.

If you get a four-beep signal when you try to use the handset:
The four-beep signal means that the handset and base are not communicating properly. This problem may be caused by something as simple as being out of range while attempting to dial. If that’s the case, you’ll be able to solve the problem by moving closer to the base and trying the call again.
If this doesn’t help, the problem may be that the handset and base are set to different security codes. To reset the security code, try the suggestions below:
Place the handset in the base,
and check to make sure that the IN USE/CHARGE indicator is on. Wait 15 seconds, then pick up the handset, make sure the base antenna is upright and press
. The PHONE indicator should go on, and the phone should operate properly. If it doesn’t, try the next step.

The layout of your home or office
may be limiting the operating range. Try moving the base to another location—preferably on an upper floor.
If you lose a call after changing channels:
You were probably almost out of range. Move closer to the base before changing channels. Before placing the call again, set the handset in the base for at least 15 seconds.
If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:
Make sure the ringer is turned on.
If you are away from the base, make sure the base antenna is upright.
Make sure the telephone line cord
is connected firmly to the base and the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is plugged in.
You may be too far from the base.

phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of the other phones.
If you hear other calls while using the phone:
Disconnect the base from the tele-
phone jack, and plug in a r egular telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your local phone company.
If you hear noise in the handset, and the buttons don’t work:
Make sure the power cord is
plugged in, and make sure the base antenna is upright.
Make sure you are in range.
The base and handset may not
be set to the same security code. Place the handset in the base for at least 15 seconds to reset the security code. See “If you get a four-beep signal.”
If you are unable to operate special telephone services or other equip­ment requiring touch tone signals:
If you have dial pulse (rotary)
service, press on the handset (or on the base) before entering information (see “Temporary Tone”).
The tones generated by this
phone may not be long enough to activate some services or equipment. You might need to use a different touch tone phone.
If you have difficulty entering numbers into Memory:
Review “Programming a Number
into Memory” to make sure you are pressing the correct sequence of buttons.
Make sure you have followed all the instructions in this booklet. If you continue to have problems, call 1 800 722-9125.
If the beeps produced when dialing vary in tone, or ringing varies in tone:
Make sure your fingers are not
covering the grooves (above battery door compartment) on the rear of the handset while dialing or while the phone is ringing.
Check to make sure that the
grooves on the rear of the handset are free of dirt and grime and are unobstructed.
