Troubleshooting
My handset beeps and is not performing normally.
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug
the telephone base into a different working electrical outlet not controlled by a
wall switch.
Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It may be out of range.
Reset the telephone base by unplugging the electrical power to the base. Wait
for 15 seconds and plug it back in again. Allow up to one minute for the cordless
handset and the telephone base to synchronize.
Other electronic products may cause interference to your cordless telephone.
Install your telephone as far away from these electronic devices as possible:
wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones,
intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances
and other cordless telephones.
There is interference during a telephone conversation.
My calls fade out when I am using the cordless handset.
The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL)
through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone
base and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems
caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more
information about DSL filters.
Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the
telephone base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone
base to another outlet.
Other electronic products may cause interference to your cordless telephone.
Install your telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic
devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones,
digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal
computers, kitchen appliances, and other cordless telephones.
If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the
telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesn’t solve
the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or
use a different surge protector.
The location of your telephone base can impact the performance of your cordless
phone. For better reception, install the telephone base in a centralized location
within your home or office, away from walls or other obstructions. In many
environments, elevating the telephone base improves overall performance.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a corded
telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or
telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges might apply).
If the 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).
