than one handset) and wall outlet.

Make sure the handset is properly seated in the cradle.

The audio sounds weak. 

Move the handset and/or base away from metal objects or appliances and try again.

Make sure that you are not too far from the base.

Can’t make or receive 

calls.

Make sure that you are not too far from the base.

Make sure the line is not in use. If an outside call is already using a line, you cannot 

use that line to make another outside call.

Make sure your handset is registered to the main base unit.

Check both ends of the base telephone line cord.

Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into the base and wall outlet.

Disconnect the AC adapter and reconnect.

page 45).

Severe noise interference.

Keep the handset away from microwave ovens, computers, remote control toys, 

wireless microphones, alarm systems, intercoms, room monitors, fluorescent lights, 

and electrical appliances.

Move to another location or turn off the source of interference.

The Caller ID does not 

display. 

The call was placed through a switchboard.

Call your telephone provider to verify your Caller ID service is current. There may be 

a problem with your Caller ID service.
