The telephone 

does not 

receive caller 

ID or the 

telephone does 

not show caller 

ID during call 

waiting.

Caller ID is a subscription 

service. You must 

subscribe to this service 

from your telephone 

service provider for this 

feature to work on your 

telephone.
Both your and the 

caller’s telephone 

service providers 

must use equipment 

compatible with the 

caller ID service.
The caller may not be 

calling from an area 

which supports caller ID.

The caller ID information 

displays after the first or 

second ring.

The display 

shows 

Out of 

range or no 

pwr at base

.

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.

I subscribe to a 

nontraditional 

telephone 

service that 

uses my 

computer 

to establish 

connections, 

and my 

telephone 

doesn’t work.

Make sure your 

computer is powered 

on, and your Internet is 

working properly.
Make sure to plug your 

USB telephone adapter 

into a dedicated USB 

port on your computer. 

Do not plug into a 

multiple port USB hub 

(USB splitter) that is not 

powered.
In a few rare instances, 

the USB port on your 

computer may not have 

enough power. In these 

instances, try using a 

USB hub with its own 

external power supply.
If you are using 

a firewall, it may 

prevent access to your 

nontraditional telephone 

service. Contact your 

service provider for more 

information.

The answering 

system does 

not record 

messages.

Make sure the answering 

system is on. When the 

answering system is on, 

ANS ON

 should display 

on the handset and the 

telephone base.

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 service 

answers. To determine 

how many rings activate 

your voicemail service, 

contact your telephone 

service provider.

The answering 

system does 

not announce 

the correct day 

of the week 

for recorded 

messages time 

stamp.

Make sure you have 

set the date and time. 

See 

Configure your 

telephone

 section.

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.

I accidentally 

set my LCD 

language to 

Spanish or 

French, and 

I don’t know 

how to change 

it back to 

English.

While the handset is 

not in use or is on a 

call, press 

MENU

 and 

then enter 

364#

 to 

change the handset 

LCD language back to 

English.
