In Case Of Difficulty If the phone doesn’t work at all, check these items first: • Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch. • Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the Base Unit and the modular jack. • If the Handset does not beep when you press PHONE , the battery might need charging. • Make sure the Battery Pack is installed correctly. • If you have dial pulse (rotary) service on your phone line, make sure the dial mode is set to Pulse (see INSTALLATION). • Microwave appliances may cause interference with this phone. If you experience interference, move away from the microwave If the above suggestions don’t solve the problem, try re-initializing the Handset and Base: 1 Disconnect the power to the Base. 2 Remove the Handset battery pack. 3 Wait a few minutes. 4 Connect the power to the Base. 5 Insert the Handset battery pack. 6 Put the Handset in the Base to re-initialize. If you hear a two-beep signal when you try to use the handset: • You might be out of range. Move closer to the Base and try again. • If moving closer to the Base doesn’t help, try following the directions above for re-initializing the Handset and Base. If the phone does not ring when you receive a call: • Make sure the Handset ringer is on. • Make sure the telephone line cord is connected firmly to the Base and the telephone jack. • Make sure the AC adapter is plugged firmly into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch. • You might be too far from the Base; move closer. • You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them. If you hear noise or interference when using the phone: • You may be out of range. Move closer to the Base. • Press and release PROG/CHAN to change to another of the 30 channels available. If noise is exceptionally loud, move closer to the Base before changing channels. • Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the Base can sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the Base to another outlet. • Using the Handset near household appliances (microwaves, computers, television, stereos, etc.) can sometimes cause interference. Move away from appliances while using the Handset. 30 Additional Information
