•  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 handset may be too far from the telephone base.
•  Charge the battery in the handset for at least 16 hours. 

For optimum daily performance, return the handset to the 
telephone base or charger 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).

• Other 

electronic 

products 

can cause interference with 

your phone. Try installing your phone as far away as 
possible from electronic devices such as television sets, 
VCRs, or other telephones.

•  Re-install the battery, and place the handset in the 

telephone base. Wait for the handset to re-establish its 
connection with the telephone base. Allow up to one 
minute for this to take place. 

•  Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a 

new line cord.

•  Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to 

this service from your local telephone company for this 
feature to work on your phone.

•  Your caller must be calling from an area that supports 

caller ID.

•  Both you and your caller’s telephone companies must 

use caller ID compatible equipment.
