9. Troubleshooting If you have difficulty with your phone, please try the suggestion listed below. Problem Solutions My telephone does not work at all. • Make sure the batteries are installed and charged correctly. For optimum daily performance, return the handset to the telephone base after use. • Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch. • Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and the telephone wall jack.
There is interference during a telephone conversation. My calls fade out when I am using the handset. 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 line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference.
Common cure for electronic equipment. If the telephone is not responding normally, put the handset in the telephone base. If it does not respond, try the following (in the order listed): • Disconnect the power to the telephone base. • Disconnect the batteries on the handset. • Wait a few minutes before connecting power to the telephone base. • Re-install the batteries and place the handset in the telephone base. • Wait for the handset to synchronize with the telephone base.
