Help

Most problems can be fixed with a few simple checks. 

Problem

Solution

No dial tone

Only use the cables and batteries supplied. 

Make sure both the mains power adaptor cable and 

telephone line cord are plugged into the correct sockets. 

Poor speech quality

Make sure the product is not located too close to other 

electrical appliances. This can also help improve the 

handset range from the base.

Battery icon flashing 

and scrolling digits

The battery charge is very low. Make sure you charge the 

batteries for 24 hours before use to ensure maximum 

battery performance.

Using broadband on the same 

phone line?

Make sure you plug the phone 

into the wall socket via an ADSL 

microfilter (not supplied), otherwise 

you may have problems with this 

product and your broadband service.
If you use BT Infinity, you will not need to use an ADSL microfilter.
For other types of broadband, please check with your 

provider if a microfilter is required.
