Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for approximately 5 seconds, 

then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base           

to synchronize.

Charge the battery in the handset for up to  hours.

If the battery is completely depleted, charge the handset for at least 30 minutes before use.

Remove the battery and then install it again. If that still does not work, it may be necessary 

to purchase a new battery.

Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working 

telephone. If the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the 

telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.

I cannot dial out.

Try all the above suggestions.

Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the handset takes a second or 

two to synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra 

second before dialing.

If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring 

or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).

Eliminate any background noise. Mute the cordless handset before dialing, or dial from 

another room in your home with less background noise.

The answering system does not answer after the correct number of rings.

Make sure the answering system is on. When the answering system is on, the                   

ANS ON/OFF

 light on the telephone base should be lit and 

ANS ON

 should display on 

the handsets.

If toll saver is selected, the number of rings changes to two when there are new    

messages waiting.

If the memory is full or if the answering system is off, the answering system answers after 

0 rings.

In some cases, the answering system is affected by the ringing system used by your 

telephone service provider.

If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your answering 

system answers before your voicemail answers. To determine how many rings activate 

your voicemail, please contact your telephone service provider.

If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting the 

fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine documentation for 

information on compatibility with answering systems.

The answering system does not record messages.

Make sure the answering system is on.

When the answering machine memory is full, it does not record new messages until some 

old messages are deleted.

If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your answering 

system answers before your voicemail answers. To determine how many rings activate 

your voicemail, please contact your telephone service provider.

If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting the 

fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine documentation for 

information on compatibility with answering systems.

The messages on the answering system are incomplete.

If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the answering system 

disconnects the call after the preset recording time.

If the memory on the answering system becomes full during a message, the answering 

system stops recording and disconnects the call.

If the caller’s voice is very soft, the answering system may stop recording and disconnect 

the call.

I have accidentally set my LCD language to Spanish or French, and I don’t 

know how to change it back to English.

While the phone is in idle mode or on a call, press

 once then enter the code
