Troubleshooting Tips

Caller ID Solutions

No display

• Fully charge (for 16 hours) or replace the battery.
• If you are using AC (electrical) power, make sure that the unit is connected to a

non-switched electrical outlet. Unplug the AC power converter from the unit and

plug it back in.

• To see Caller ID information in your display, you must be subscribed to Caller ID

service through your local telephone company.

Caller ID incomplete

• The unit displays this message if it detects anything other than valid Caller ID

information during the silent period after the first ring. This message indicates the

presence of noise on the line.

Telephone Solutions

Handset can not link.

• If any handsets become inoperable, place it on the main base cradle for 20

seconds to re-register.

No dial tone

• Check or repeat installation steps
• Make sure the base power cord is connected to a working electrical outlet.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is connected to the base unit and the modular

phone jack?

• Disconnect the base from the wall phone jack and connect another phone to the

same jack. If there is no dial tone on the second phone, the problem might be your

wiring or local service.

• The handset might be out of range of the base. Move closer to the base.
• Make sure the battery is properly charged (for 16 hours).
• Ensure the battery pack is installed correctly.
• Did the handset beep when you pressed the TALK/CALL BACK button? Did the in

use indicator come on? The battery may need to be charged.

Handset does not ring

• Make sure the ringer is set to ON, this can be done through the handset setup

menu Ringer Volume.

• You may have too many extension phones on your line. Try unplugging

some phones.

• See solutions for “No dial tone.”

Charge/in use indicator on the base flashes

• Provided your phone company offers voice messaging service and you subscribe

to it, the charge/in use indicator on the base flashes when the phone is not in use

to indicate there is a message waiting. It stops flashing after the message has

been reviewed.

You experience static, noise, or fading in and out

• Change channels
• The handset may be out of range. Move closer to the base.
• Relocate the base.
• Charge the battery.
• Make sure base is not plugged into an electrical outlet with another

household appliance.

Unit beeps

• Place handset in base cradle for 20 seconds to reset the security code. If that

doesn’t work, charge the battery for 16 hours.

• See solutions for “No dial tone.”
• Replace the battery.
