Battery Information

Fully charged, the battery should provide about 5 hours of talk time and about 6 days of standby time. For best results, return the handset to the cradle after each call to keep it fully charged. Keep an eye on the battery status icon. When the battery gets too low, the handset shows a low battery alert. If you hear a strange beep during a call, check the display: if you see the low battery alert, nish your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the cradle. If the handset is in standby, none of the keys will operate. With normal use, the battery should last about one year. Replace the battery when the talk time becomes short even when the battery is charged. To buy a replacement battery, call the Parts Department listed on the front cover.

Solving General Problems

If you have any trouble with your phone, try these simple steps first. If you still have a question, call our Customer Care Line listed on the front cover.

If… Try…

I can't make or receive calls.

Checking the telephone cord connection. Disconnecting the base AC adapter. Wait a few minutes, then reconnect it.

A handset can make calls, but it won’t ring.

Making sure the ringer is turned on.

A handset is not working.

Checking the battery pack connection. Charging the battery for 15-20 hours. Re-registering all handsets.

A handset says Unavailable.

Moving the handset closer to the base. Making sure the base is plugged in.

No handsets will display any Caller ID information.

Letting incoming calls ring at least twice before answering. Seeing if the call was placed through a switchboard. Making sure your Caller ID service is active

I can't dial from the CID list.

Making sure you entered the correct area code. If you have to dial all 10 digits, you need to delete the area code.

I can’t transfer calls. Re-registering all handsets.

Noise or Static On The Line

The most common cause of noise or static on a cordless phone is interference. Here are some common household sources of interference:

electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL modems radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers large florescent light fixtures (especially if they give off a buzzing noise)

  



other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems, intercom systems, or broadband Internet service

If the static is... on 1 handset/in 1 location: on all handsets/in all locations:

Press

SELECT/CHANNEL

to change frequencies. Check nearby for one of the interference sources. Try moving the handset away from a suspected source, or try moving the source so it’s not between the handset and the base. Try moving closer to the base. There is always more noise at the edges of the base's range.

Check near the base for the source of interference. Try moving the base away from a suspected source, or turn off the source if possible. If you have any service that uses the phone line, you might need a filter (see below).

Installing a telephone line lter or DSL lter

Broadband Internet services that use the phone line can interfere with telephones. One common service−DSL

−often causes static on telephones. A DSL filter or line filter usually solves this problem. (The technician who installed your DSL service might have left some filters for you; if not, call your DSL provider or look in any electronics store.) Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and then plug your phone's base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.

Weak or Hard To Hear Audio

If a caller’s voice sounds weak or soft, you might be too far from the base or the signal might be blocked by large metal objects or walls. The handset’s battery may be weak.

Try moving around while you’re on a call or moving closer to the base. Make sure the handset’s battery is fully charged. Try adjusting the volume of the earpiece.

Re-registering the handsets

When you first put your handsets into the base, they register to the base so they can communicate with it. You must re-register all handsets in the following situations:

When there is a power failure that lasts more than one hour. If the battery is completely discharged (remember to charge the battery fully first). Any time one or more handsets can't connect to the base. If you suspect another device might be accessing your base (a rare situation).

With no handsets in the base cradle, press and hold

FIND HS

on the base.

While holding

FIND HS

, place the first handset in the base. The charge/in use light

on the base should flash. If it doesn't, pick up the handset and start again. Wait for at least 5 seconds, then pick up the handset and press

TALK/FLASH

. If you hear a dial tone and the display says TALK, hang up and go on to the next handset. If not, place this handset back in the base to try again. (You don't need to hold

FIND

this time.)

One by one, place each handset in the base for at least 5 seconds. Check for a dial tone on each handset before moving to the next one.

Re-register all your handsets at the same time: any handsets that are not properly re-registered may not be able to communicate with the base.

Handling Liquid Damage

If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the exterior plastic housing is affected, wipe off the liquid & use as normal.

If any liquid enters the plastic housing (e.g., the vents on the base or the handset battery compartment) or you can hear liquid in the phone, follow the steps below:

Handset Base

Remove the battery cover & disconnect the battery. Let dry for at least 3 days with the battery

disconnected and the cover off for ventilation. After the handset dries, reconnect the battery pack

and replace the cover. Recharge the battery fully (15-20 hours) before using.

Disconnect the AC adapter to cut off the power.

Disconnect the telephone cord.

Let dry for at least 3 days before reconnecting.

CAUTION! DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up

the drying process. This will cause permanent damage

to the handset, base and the microwave oven.
