Troubleshooting
I cannot dial out
My cordless handset isn’t performing normally
• First try all the suggestions above.
• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The cordless handset may take a second or two to find the telephone base and produce a dial tone. This is normal. Wait an extra second before dialing.
• Make sure your phone is set to the correct dial mode for the type of service that you have (pulse or touch tone).
• If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).
• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a televi­sion, radio or other appliances may cause the phone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, first try muting the cordless hand­set before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less background noise.
• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug the unit into a different, working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
• Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. You might have moved out of range.
• Reset the telephone base. Unplug the unit’s electri­cal power. Wait for 15 seconds then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base to reset.
• Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away from these types of electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televi­sions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless phones.

I get noise, static, or weak signal even when I’m near the tel­ephone base
• Other cordless phones and 802.11 wireless routers that are used for home computer networks both use internal radios to communicate. The radios may inter­fere with one another. You can improve the perform­ance of your cordless phones and your router by:
a. Positioning your new phone as far away as possible
from any other existing cordless telephone system that is already installed in your home to avoid the two systems from interfering with each other.
b. Positioning your telephone base as far as possible
from your router, computer or any other computer devices.
c. Selecting channels four through 10 for your router
(refer to your router’s user’s manual for more infor­mation).
• Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away from the following electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless phones.
• Microwaves operate on the same frequency as your phone. It is normal to experience static on your phone while the microwave oven is operating. Do not install this phone in the same outlet or near a microwave oven.
• If your phone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this solves the problem, re­locate your phone or modem farther apart from one another, or use a different surge protector.
• Relocate your phone to a higher location. The phone will likely have better reception when not installed in a low area.
• If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged securely into the telephone base and the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.
• The cordless handset may be too far from the tel­ephone base.
• Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to its base when not in use.
• You may have too many extension phones on your tel­ephone line to allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging some of the other phones.
• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the telephone base to another location, preferably on an upper floor.
• If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

Especially about cordless telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone con­venient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmit­ted between the base and the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless phone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think
of cordless phone conversations as being as private as those on corded phones.
Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless tel­ephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch.
Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
