If you have difficulty with your phone, please try the suggestions listed below.
Problem Solutions
My telephone does
not work at all.
• Make sure the batteries are installed and charged correctly.
For optimum daily performance, return the handset to the
telephone base after use.
• Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet
not controlled by a wall switch.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the
telephone base and the telephone wall jack.
• Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for
approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to
one minute for the handset and telephone base to
synchronize.
• Remove and re-insert the batteries. If that still does not work,
it might be necessary to purchase new batteries.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack
and plug in a working telephone. If the other telephone does
not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the
telephone service. Call your telephone service provider.

• Place the handset in the telephone base for recharging.
• Remove and re-install the batteries and use it until fully
depleted, then recharge the handset in the telephone base.
• If the above measures do not solve the problem, replace the
batteries.
• Make sure the handset is placed in the telephone base

telephone base.
• If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital
subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone line, you must
install a DSL filter between the telephone base and the
telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID
problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your
DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
• Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the
same circuit as the telephone base can cause interference. Try
moving the appliance or telephone base to another outlet.
• Other electronic products may cause interference to your
cordless telephone. Install your telephone as far away as
possible from the following electronic devices: wireless
routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular
telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors,
televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances,
and other cordless telephones.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge
protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protector) into
a different location. If this doesn't solve the problem, re-locate
your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or
use a different surge protector.
• The location of your telephone base can impact the
performance of your cordless phone. For better reception,
install the telephone base in a centralized location within your
home or office, away from walls or other obstructions. In
many environments, elevating the telephone base improves
overall performance.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack
and plug in a corded telephone. If calls are still not clear, the
problem is probably in the wiring or telephone service.
Contact your telephone service provider (charges might
apply).
• If the other telephones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in the wiring or telephone service.
Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
