Troubleshooting

Most problems are caused by something very simple and can be fixed with a few simple checks: 

•  Make sure both the mains power adaptor cable and telephone line cord are plugged into 

the correct sockets and plugged in at the wall. 

•  Make sure you use all the cables and batteries that came in the box, not those from a 

previous product.

•  If you experience poor speech quality or interference, make sure the product is not 

located too close to other electrical appliances. This can also help improve the handset 
range from the base.

•  Make sure you charge the batteries for at least 20 hours before first use to ensure 

maximum battery performance. The charge capacity of the batteries will decrease  
over time.

Remember to plug the phone into the wall socket via an ADSL microfilter if you have 
broadband Internet on your phone line, otherwise you may have problems with this 
product and your broadband service. Additional BT ADSL microfilters can be purchased 
from www.shop.bt.com
