Notes:
• Connecting a headset disconnects the
handset’s earpiece and microphone.
•
VOLUME
on the handset (see “Setting the
Handset Volume” on Page 5) also con-
trols the connected headset’s volume.
• If you place the handset on the base to
recharge it while the headset is con-
nected, be sure the handset seats prop-
erly.
With a headset connected, you make or an-
swer calls as usual using the keys on the hand-
set.
When you finish using the headset, disconnect
it from the handset and close the rubber cover
to protect the jack.
TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, the following sugges-
tions might help.
Problem
Suggestion
Low volume or unusual sounds
Someone has picked up another phone on the same
line. Hang up the other phone.
If you are using the headset, ensure the headset plug
is properly connected to the jack.
Severe noise interference
Press CH to change the channel.
Keep the handset away from computers, remote con-
trol toys, wireless microphones, alarm systems, inter-
coms, room monitors, fluorescent lights, and
electrical appliances.
Move to another location or turn off the source of
interference.
Hang up and redial the number.
The phone cannot be operated at a useful dis-
tance from the base because the signal becomes
weak or noisy (handset’s range has decreased).
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical position.
Be sure neither the handset nor base antenna is
touching a metal surface.
Return the handset to the base to recharge the bat-
tery pack.
The phone does not work or works poorly.
Be sure the base’s phone line cord and AC adapter
are correctly and securely connected, and the battery
is charged.
The handset battery does not charge.
Check the charging contacts on the handset and
base. If they are dirty, clean them with a pencil eraser.
Be sure the battery is properly connected.
Be sure the handset is properly seated on the base.
