Appendix Troubleshooting If you have difficulty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below. For Customer Service, visit our website at www.vtechphones.com, or call 1 (800) 595-9511; in Canada, call 1 (800) 267-7377. Suggestion My telephone does not work at all. • Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly (page 3). For optimum daily performance, return the handset to the telephone base or charger after use.
Appendix Troubleshooting Problem Suggestion 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. The CHARGE light on the handset should be on. • Remove and reinstall the battery, then charge for up to 16 hours. • If the handset is in the telephone base or charger but the CHARGE light on the handset is not on, refer to The charge light is off in this section.
Appendix Troubleshooting Problem Suggestion The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call. • Make sure the handset ringer volume is not set to zero (page 7) and the telephone base ringer volume is not set to off (page 40). • Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in properly (page 2). • The handset may be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer to the telephone base.
Appendix Troubleshooting Problem Suggestion I cannot dial out. • First, try all the above suggestions. • 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 before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dialing. • If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply). • Eliminate any background noise.
Appendix Troubleshooting Suggestion There is interference during a telephone conversation. • The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base. • If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (Digital Subscriber Line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. The filter will prevent noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference.
Appendix Troubleshooting Problem Suggestion 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 local service. Call your local telephone company. I hear noise on the cordless handset, and none of the keys or buttons works. • Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged in securely. My caller ID features are not working properly.
Appendix Troubleshooting Problem Suggestion The system does not receive caller ID or the system does not display caller ID during call waiting. • Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features provided by the local telephone company. • The caller may not be calling from an area which supports caller ID. • Both you and the caller’s telephone companies must use equipment which are compatible with caller ID service.
Appendix Troubleshooting Problem Suggestion CONNECTING... is shown in the handset display window. Why don’t I get a dial tone when I try to use this telephone? • The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base. • Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Use a working electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch. • Reset your telephone by unplugging the power adapter from the telephone base. Disconnect the battery from the cordless handset.
Appendix Troubleshooting Problem Suggestion The messages on the system are very difficult to hear. • Press VOL The answering system does not record messages. • Make sure the answering system is on. • If the answering machine memory is full, it will not record new messages until some old messages are deleted. The messages on the answering system are incomplete. • If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the system disconnects the call after four minutes.
Appendix Troubleshooting Problem Suggestion The answering system does not respond to remote commands. • Make sure your remote access code is correct (page 40). • Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone telephone. When dialing a number, there should be tones. If there are clicks, then it is not a touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system. • The answering system may not detect the remote access code when your announcement is playing.
Appendix Operating range This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance - which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office. When the handset is out of range, the handset will display CONNECTING...
Appendix About cordless telephones • Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.
