Troubleshooting Problem Suggestion My handset does not ring when there is an incoming call. • Make sure you have the ringer activated. Refer to the section(s) on ringer selection in the system's user's manual. • Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is plugged in. • You may be too far from the telephone base. • Charge the battery in the handset for at least 16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the handset to its charger when not in use. • You may have too many extension telephones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of the other telephones. • The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the telephone base to another location, preferably to an upper floor. • If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply.) • Test a working telephone at the phone jack. If another telephone has the same problem, the problem is the phone jack. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply.) •  Other electronic products can cause interference with your cordless telephone. Try installing your telephone as far away from these types of electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless telephones. • Your telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord. 28 www.vtechphones.com
