Appendix
The tele-
phone does
not ring when
there is an
incoming call.
•
Make sure the ringer is on. (See page 12 for handset and page 19 for
telephone base).
•
Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in
properly (see page 7).
•
The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone base. Move
it closer to the telephone base.
•
There may be too many extension phones on the telephone line to
allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging some of them.
•
If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem,
the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact the local tele-
phone company (charges may apply).
•
Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless
telephone. Try installing your telephone as far away as possible from
the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio tow-
ers, pager towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms,
room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appli-
ances, and other cordless telephones.
•
Test a working telephone at the telephone jack. If another telephone
has the same problem, the problem is in the telephone jack. Contact
your local telephone company (charges may apply).
•
The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new
telephone line cord.
•
Re-install the battery pack and place the cordless handset in the tele-
phone base.
•
Wait for the cordless handset to synchronize with the telephone base.
To be safe, allow up to one minute for this to take place.
•
First, try all the above suggestions.
•
Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. It might be
out of range.
•
The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new
telephone line cord.
•
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack and connect
a different telephone. If there is no dial tone on the telephone either,
the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local tele-
phone company.
There is no
dial tone.

phone base to reset.
