Troubleshooting
If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones
on the same line work properly, the fault is in this phone or its
installation. If you cannot locate the problem, take your phone to
your local RadioShack store for assistance.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in lightning protection to reduce the
risk of damage from surges in telephone line and power line
current. This lightning protection meets or exceeds FCC re-
quirements. However, lightning striking the telephone or power
lines can damage your telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an
area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you un-
plug your phone before storms to reduce the possibility of dam-
age.
There is
severe inter-
ference.
• Turn off the interfering device.
• Move the keypad closer to the base. Hang up and
redial the number.
• Press CHANNEL to change the channel.
The range
decreases.
• Ensure the base’s antenna is raised and is not
touching a metal surface.
• Recharge the keypad’s battery pack.
You can
receive calls,
but cannot
make calls.
Set TONE/PULSE correctly for the type of service you
have (see “Setting the Dialing Mode” on Page 14).
