GX2400 English I/B ver. 09020A-1 TECHNICAL INFORMATION This cordless phone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficulties in using radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the following could affect the operation of your system. NOISE: Electric pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electric equipment such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses. Because radio frequencies are susceptible to these noise pulses, you may occasionally hear them in your handset. Generally, they are minor annoyances and should not be interpreted as defects in your system. RANGE: Because radio frequencies are used, location of the base unit can affect operating range. Try several locations in your home or business and pick the one that gives you the clearest signal. INTERFERENCE: Some electronic devices operate in and/or generate interference near the operating frequencies of your cordless telephone. While several protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signals cause interference. If interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated by lowering the height of your base antenna or by relocating the base unit. You can check for interference before selecting the final base unit location by plugging in the phone. TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOMS No dial tone Does not ring No power on the handset unit 09020A-1 POSSIBLE SOLUTION / CAUSE • Check that the telephone line cord connectors at both ends are pushed in firmly until they click. • Check if another telephone line (sharing with the same line as the GX2400) is off-hook or in use. • If you had a power failure or had unplugged the base unit, replace the handset on the base unit for two to five seconds to reset the system. • Check the ringer mode on the handset. Change to RING ON mode to enable the handset ringer. • Check that the telephone line cord connectors at both ends are pushed in firmly until they click. • You may have exceeded the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) limit of how many phones can be connected to the same line. The REN total of all devices (printed on the bottom label of each unit) should not exceed five (5). Disconnect the appropriate units to lower the REN total. • Check the Ni-Cd battery pack for proper connection inside the battery compartment on the handset. • The handset rechargeable Ni-Cd battery pack may need charging. 14 OWNER'S MANUAL#GX2400VER.09020A-1 PAGE: 14 U.S. English Version
