I cannot dial
out.
Make sure there is a dial
tone before dialing. It
is normal if the handset
takes a second or two
to synchronize with the
telephone base before
producing a dial tone. Wait
an extra second before
dialing.
Eliminate any background
noise. Mute the handset
before dialing, or dial from
another room in your home
with less background noise.
The battery
does not
charge in the
handset or
the handset
battery does
not accept
charge.
Make sure the handset is
placed in the telephone
base or charger correctly.
If the battery is completely
depleted, charge the
battery for at least
30 minutes before use.
You may need to purchase
a new battery.
The telephone
does not ring
when there is
an incoming
call.
Make sure the ringer
volume is not set to off.
The handset may be too
far from the telephone
base. Move it closer to the
telephone base.
I experience
poor sound
quality when
using the
handset
speakerphone.
For increased sound quality
while using the handset
speakerphone, place the
handset on a flat surface
with the dialing keys facing
up.
I hear other
calls when
using the
telephone.
Disconnect the telephone
base from the telephone
wall jack. Plug in a different
telephone. If you still hear
other calls, the problem is
probably in the wiring or
telephone service. Contact
your telephone service
provider.
There is
interference
during a
telephone
conversation.
My calls fade
out when
I am using
the cordless
handset.
The handset may be out of
range. Move it closer to the
telephone base.
If you subscribe to high-
speed Internet service (DSL
- digital subscriber line)
through your telephone
line, you must install a
DSL filter between the
telephone line cord and
the telephone wall jack.
The filter prevents noise
and caller ID problems
caused by DSL interference.
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.
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.
