Appendix D Troubleshooting • Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away from the following electronic devices as possible: television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones. • Do not install this phone near a microwave oven or on the same electrical outlet. You might experience decreased performance while the microwave oven is operating. • If you plug your phone in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this does not solve the problem, re-locate your phone or modem farther apart from one another, or use a different surge protector. • Relocate your phone to a higher location. The phone might have better reception in a high area. • If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, contact your local telephone company (charges may apply). I experience poor sound quality when using the speakerphone. • For increased sound quality while using the speakerphone, place the handset on a flat surface with the dial pad facing up. I hear other calls while using my phone. • Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack, and plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, call your local telephone company. My cordless handset does not ring when I receive a call. • Make sure that the ringer is not off. Refer to the section on ringer selection in this user's manual. • Make sure you plug in the telephone line cord securely into the telephone base and the telephone jack. Make sure you plug in the power cord securely. • The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone base. 45
