Simple solutions

The most common problems often have the
simplest solutions. We hope that you will not
experience any problems with your product, but in
the event that you do, this section hopes to help
you overcome any problems quickly and with
minimum effort.

First, check that:

• the telephone line cord is correctly connected.

• the power cord is correctly connected 

and switched on.

• the battery pack is charged and not in need of 

replacing.

If you have more than one handset registered
to your base, remember to check the
connections on this too.

If you are still experiencing problems, please try
the following or feel free to contact our
customer service center. See back cover page
for contact information.
