when you finish talking).
• Surfaces aected by vibration.
Recessed areas such as in a corner, under a cupboard, or next to a cabinet, which can generate an echo eect.
Note the following guidelines when using the speakerphone:

Appendix Troubleshooting guide
Problem Cause/solution
Phone is not working Unplug all power sources including line cord,
power cords and batteries. Allow the unit to remain completely unplugged for 1 to 2 minutes.
Reinstall all power sources, place the handset on
the base, wait for 1 to 2 minutes and then test the unit again.
Test the connection by swapping line cords with
another telephone.
Test the jack by moving the product in question to
another phone jack, or try a working telephone in the jack where the defective product is located.
No dial tone Check installation: make sure the telephone line
cord is connected to the base unit and a modular
phone jack (RJ-11).
Try disconnecting and reconnecting the handset
cord into the handset and base to ensure proper connection.
Check the switch hook. Make sure it fully extends
when the handset is lifted from the base.
You must have touch-tone service on your line
to use this phone. If you do not know what type of service you have, check with your telephone service provider.
Unplug the phone, wait for 30 seconds, and plug
the phone back in.
Connect another phone to the same modular jack;
if the second phone does not work, the problem might be with your wiring or local service.
Place the handset on the base for at least 20
seconds.
Page 22
Appendix
19
Problem Cause/solution
Static or noise on line
If you have DSL high speed Internet service, be sure you have a DSL filter installed at every jack
where a phone is installed.
Check your telephone line cord and handset coiled cord for wear and tear. If the line cord is worn or cut, replace with another cord.
Check for noise on other telephones on the same line. Disconnect all phones and plug one phone
in at a time. If the noise/static persists, it could be the problem of the jack; if the noise/static
persists on all jacks, it could be the problem of the telephone line. Check with your telephone service
provider (charges may apply).
Phone does not ring Make sure the RINGER VOL switch is set to LOW
or HI.
You may have too many extension phones on your line. Unplug some extension phones.
Check for a dial tone. If there is no dial tone, see solutions for No dial tone.
Cannot dial from memory locations
Make sure you stored the memory buttons correctly. Try restoring the memory location. Be
sure to include any dialing prefixes like “1” and/
or an area code just as you would if dialing the
number manually (see Memory on page 12).
Make sure the telephone is properly installed. Lift
the handset and listen for a dial tone. If you don’t hear a dial tone, recheck or repeat the installation steps.
Cannot be heard by other party
Make sure the telephone line cord is securely plugged in.
Make sure extension phones are not in use at the same time you are using the phone. It is normal for the volume to drop when additional extension phones are used at the same time.

Problem Cause/solution
Low handset or speaker volume
Check the handset receiver or speaker volume settings.
General Product Care
Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances and devices that generate electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).
Avoid dropping the phone and other rough treatment.
Clean the phone with a soft cloth.
Never use strong cleaning agents, paint thinner, abrasive powder, alcohol,
or other chemical products to clean the unit. Doing so may damage the
finish.
Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the phone at a later
date.
DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.

Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must:
(1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) aord you the opportunity to correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to
bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations. The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are
expected to aect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the
telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
Interference Information

Page 26
Appendix
23
Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications equipment and receiving antenna.
Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiving antenna is connected.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions.
