Appendix Troubleshooting If you have difficulty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below.

The handset registration is unsuccessful. • Follow the handset registration instructions to register the handset again (see Adding and registering handsets on page 8). My telephone doesn’t work at all.
Appendix Troubleshooting • If the previous suggestions do not work, disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack and connect the jack to a different phone. If there is no dial tone on that phone either, the problem is in your wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider. • Your line cord may be defective. Try installing a new line cord. I cannot dial out. • Try all the suggestions above. • Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing.
Appendix Troubleshooting Out of range OR No power at base appears on my cordless handset. • Ensure you plug the telephone base in properly and the power is on. • Place the cordless handset in the telephone base for one minute to allow the cordless handset and base to synchronize. • Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. You may have moved out of range. • Reset the telephone base. Unplug the electrical power. Wait for 15 seconds then plug it back in.
Appendix Troubleshooting I get noise, static, or weak signals even when I’m near 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 as a result of DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
Appendix Troubleshooting I experience poor sound quality when using the speakerphone. • For increased sound quality while using the speakerphone, place the handset on a flat surface with the dialing keys facing up. • When using a speakerphone, controlling background noise in your environment is essential. While you are listening to your party, press MUTE/DELETE to temporarily turn your microphone off. When it is your turn to speak, remember to press MUTE/DELETE again to turn the microphone on.
Appendix Troubleshooting • The layout of your home or office may be limiting the operating range. Try moving the telephone base to another location, preferably on an upper floor. • If other phones in your home are having the same problem, contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply). • Test a working phone at the phone jack. If another phone has the same problem, contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
Appendix Troubleshooting • Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working telephone. If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in your wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply). • Excessive background noise will cause a speakerphone to fade in and out. Try controlling the background noise by turning off any audio devices near the speakerphone.
Appendix Troubleshooting System does not receive caller ID when on a call. • Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features from your telephone service provider. Caller ID features work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment. I subscribe to a nontraditional telephone service that uses my computer to establish connections, and my telephone doesn’t work. • Make sure your computer is powered on.
Appendix Troubleshooting Common cure for electronic equipment. If the telephone does not seem to be responding normally, try putting the cordless handset in the charger. If it does not fix the problem, do the following (in the order listed): 1. Disconnect the power to the telephone base. 2. Disconnect the cordless handset battery. 3. Wait a few minutes. 4. Connect power to the telephone base. 5. Completely remove the battery.
Appendix Maintenance Taking care of your telephone • Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care. • Avoid rough treatment. • Place the handset down gently. • Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it. Avoid water • Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.
