Your CL980 handset is connected to its base through radio technology. It is possible
for the handset to be too far away from the base. If the handset is too far from the
base, you might have problems talking to your caller. Simply, walk back towards
the base until you are no longer out of range.

Should you misplace your handset, you can locate it quickly and easily by pressing
the PAGE/FIND key on the base. The handset rings for 15 seconds, or until you press
a key on the handset, or until you press the PAGE/FIND key again. The base res-
ponds with tones during the 15 seconds to indicate that paging is active. If the to-
nes at the base stop right away, the handset is either turned off, out of range, or the
battery needs recharging.
