Make sure the battery pack in the handset is properly connected. The handset stops working or works poorly during a call. Move the handset closer to the base.
Problem You have an incoming call, but do not receive any Caller ID information. Suggestion Let the phone ring twice before you answer so the phone has time to record the Caller ID information. Check that the phone is correctly and securely connected. Check with your phone company to verify that your Caller ID service is active. If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation.
