Troubleshooting
Caller ID entries do not match the numbers I need to dial.
Caller ID service delivers 10 digits (the area code plus the seven-digits number).
If you need to dial something other than 10 digits, see page 22 for instructions on
changing the number.
If you dial seven digits for local calls you may want to use the home area code feature
(see page 10).
POWER FAILURE OR OUT OF RANGE shows on the handset screen.
The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base.
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Use a working
electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
Reset your telephone by unplugging the power adapter from the telephone base.
Disconnect the battery from the cordless handset. Wait for 15 seconds, then plug in
the power adapter and reinstall the battery. Place the handset in the telephone base
and allow up to one minute for the handset and telephone base to synchronize.
Other electronic products may prevent your handset and telephone base from
communicating with each other. Install your telephone base as far away from
these electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, cellular telephones,
intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and
other cordless telephones.
An
icon and NEW VOICEMAIL shows on the handset and the
VOICEMAIL light is flashing on the telephone base and I don’t know why.
Your telephone has voicemail indication feature. If
icon and NEW VOICEMAIL
appear on the handset and the VOICEMAIL light is flashing on the telephone base,
your telephone has received a signal from your telephone service provider that you
have a voicemail message waiting for you to retrieve from your telephone service
provider. Contact your telephone service provider for more information on how to access
your voicemail.
I cannot retrieve voicemail messages.
If you subscribe to voicemail ervice from your telephone service provider (charges may
apply), contact your telephone service provider for more information on how to access
your voicemail.
