Troubleshooting
I hear other
calls while using
my phone
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack,
and plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other
calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local
service. Call your local telephone company.
• Make sure that the ringer is not turned off. Refer to the
section(s) on ringer selection in this user’s manual.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged securely
into the telephone base and the telephone jack. Make
sure the power cord is securely plugged in.
• The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone
base.
• Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least
16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the
cordless handset to its base when not in use.
• You may have too many extension phones on
your telephone line to allow all of them to ring
simultaneously. Try unplugging some of the other
phones.
• The layout of your home or office might be limiting
the operating range. Try moving the telephone base to
another location, preferably on an upper floor.
• If the other phones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service.
Contact your local telephone company (charges may
apply).
• Test a working phone at the phone jack. If another
phone has the same problem, the problem is the phone
jack. Contact your local telephone company (charges
may apply).
