Appendix Troubleshooting If you have difficulty with your phone, please try the suggestions below. For customer service, visit our website at www.telephones.att.com, or call 1 (888) 915-2007. In Canada dial 1 (866) 288-4268. My phone doesn’t work at all. • Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in. • Make sure you plug the battery connector securely into the cordless handset. • Make sure you plug the telephone line cord securely and firmly into the telephone base and the telephone wall jack.
Appendix Troubleshooting If changing the telephone line cord does not help, the wall jack (or the wiring to this wall jack) may be defective, • try using a different wall jack in your home to connect your SynJ SB67118/SB67138/SB67158 telephone, or • contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply). I cannot dial out. • First try all the suggestions on the previous page. • Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing.
Appendix Troubleshooting The batteries do not hold a charge. • If the cordless handset is in the charger and the charge light is not on, refer to The charge light is off in this Troubleshooting guide. • Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to the charger when not in use. • If the battery is depleted, it might take approximately four minutes to charge the handset before it can resume display on the screen.
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 lines, 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 My cordless handset does not ring when I receive a call. • Make sure that the ringer is not off. Refer to the section on ringer selection in this user’s manual. • Make sure you plug in the telephone line cord securely into the telephone base and the telephone jack. Make sure you plug in the power cord securely. • The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone base. • Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours.
Appendix Troubleshooting My calls cut in and out while I’m using my cordless handset. • Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can cause interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away as possible from these types of electronic devices. • Do not install this phone near a microwave oven or on the same electrical outlet. You might experience decreased performance while the microwave oven is operating.
Appendix Troubleshooting The charge light is off. • Make sure you plug the power and line cords in correctly and securely. • Unplug the electrical power. Wait for 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base to reset. • Clean the cordless handset and telephone base charging contacts each month with a pencil eraser or cloth. My caller ID isn’t working. • Caller ID is a subscription service.
Appendix Troubleshooting The answering system is recording incomplete messages. • If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the system disconnects the call after three minutes. • If the caller pauses for longer than six seconds, the system stops recording and disconnects the call. • If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system stops recording and disconnects the call. • If the caller’s voice is very soft, the system may stop recording and disconnects the call.
Appendix Troubleshooting System does not respond to remote commands. • Make sure to enter your remote access code correctly (see page 19). • Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone phone. When you dial a number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks, the phone is not a touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system. • The answering system may not detect the remote access code while your announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is over before entering the code.
Appendix Troubleshooting Common cure for electronic equipment. If the telephone does not respond normally, try putting the cordless handset in the charger. If it does not seem to respond, do the following (in the order listed): • Disconnect the power to the telephone base. • Disconnect the cordless handset battery, and spare battery, if applicable. • Wait a few minutes. • Connect power to the telephone base. • Install the battery again, and place the cordless handset into the charger.
