My telephone does not work at all.
•
Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly (pages 3 and 4). 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 wall jack.
•
Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for approximately 15
seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and
telephone base to synchronize.
•
Charge the battery in the handset for up to 16 hours.
•
If the battery is completely depleted, it may take up to 30 minutes to charge the
handset before Low battery appears on the screen (page 4).
•
Remove and install the battery again. If that still does not work, it may be
necessary to purchase a new battery.
•
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working
telephone. If the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the
wiring or the local telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.
There is no dial tone.
•
First, try all the above suggestions.
•
Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It may be out of range.
•
The telephone line cord may be defective. Install a new telephone line cord.
•
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and connect a
different telephone. If there is no dial tone on this telephone either, the problem is
in your wiring or local telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.
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 base before producing a dial
tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.
•
If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is
in the wiring or local telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider
(charges may apply).
•
Eliminate any background noise. Mute the cordless handset before dialing, or dial
from another room in your home with less background noise.
Not registered appears on the handset and it does not work at all.
•
The handset may be deregistered from the telephone base. Follow the steps below
to register the handset to the telephone base.
1. Remove the handset from the telephone base.
2. Press and hold /FIND HANDSET on the telephone base for about four
seconds until the red IN USE light turns on.
3. Then press # (pound key) on the handset. It displays Registering... and
it takes about 60 seconds to complete the registration. The handset displays
Registered for a few seconds and you hear a confirmation tone when the
registration process completes.
