• The handset may be out of range . Move �t closer to the telephone base .• Appl�ances or other cordless telephones plugged �nto the same c�rcu�t as the telephone base can cause

�nterference . Try mov�ng the appl�ance or telephone base to another outlet .• Other electron�c products can cause �nterference to your cordless telephone . Try �nstall�ng your telephone

as far away as poss�ble from the follow�ng electron�c dev�ces: w�reless routers, rad�os, rad�o towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, d�g�tal telephones, �ntercoms, room mon�tors, telev�s�ons, VCRs, personal computers, k�tchen appl�ances, and other cordless telephones .

• M�crowave ovens operate on the same frequency as your telephone . It �s normal to exper�ence stat�c on your telephone wh�le the m�crowave oven �s operat�ng . Do not �nstall th�s telephone �n the same outlet or near a m�crowave oven .

• If your telephone �s plugged �n w�th a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protector) �nto a d�fferent locat�on . If th�s solves the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a d�fferent surge protector .

• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the base to another locat�on, preferably a h�gher locat�on for better recept�on .

• If you st�ll have problems w�th the telephone or the router, make sure the handset �s ON and press CHAN unt�l the performance �mproves .

• Press the CHAN button wh�le on a call unt�l the �nterference has been el�m�nated .• If the other telephones �n your home are hav�ng the same problem, the problem �s �n the w�r�ng or local

serv�ce . Contact the local telephone company (charges may apply) .• Do you have DSL service? If yes, you need to have a DSL filter installed at every telephone jack that

has a telephone connected to it. Contact your DSL service provider for filter information.


Troubleshooting

My caller ID features are not work�ng properly .

• Caller ID �s a subscr�pt�on serv�ce . You must subscr�be to th�s serv�ce from your local telephone company for th�s feature to work on your telephone .

caller ID serv�ce .• If you subscribe to DSL service, install a DSL filter to the telephone line between the telephone

base and the telephone line jack. Contact your DSL service provider for filter information.

The system does not rece�ve caller ID or the system does not d�splay caller ID dur�ng call wa�t�ng .

• Make sure you subscr�be to Caller ID w�th Call Wa�t�ng features serv�ces prov�ded by the local telephone company .

• If toll saver �s act�vated, the number of r�ngs changes to two when there are new messages wa�t�ng (see page 28) .

• If the memory �s full or �f the answer�ng system �s off, the system w�ll answer after ten r�ngs .• In some cases, the answer�ng system may be affected by the r�ng�ng system used by the local

telephone company .

The announcement message �s not clear .
