I don’t know how to search for or add new devices on my cell phone.
Most cell phones have the Bluetooth feature in the connection or setup menus.
Please refer to the user’s manual of your cell phone.
In general, press the menu key on your cell phone, then look for the Bluetooth
menu in the settings or connection menu. In the Bluetooth menu, select the option
to search for or add new devices.
The PIN on the telephone base does not work.
Make sure you enter the correct PIN. The default PIN is 0000.
Can the DS6520/DS6521/DS6522 help the poor cell phone reception in
my house?
If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the DS6520/DS6521/DS6522
cannot improve the reception. However, if there is a location in your house with
better reception, you can leave your cell phone at that location while you use the
DS6520/DS6521/DS6522 cell line. In order for this to work, the telephone base
must be within 30 feet of the cell phone.
My telephone does not work at all.
Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly. For optimum daily
performance, return the handset to the telephone base or charger after use.
Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by
a wall switch.
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and
the wall jack.
Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for approximately
5 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset
and telephone base to synchronize.
Charge the battery in the handset for up to 2 hours.
If the battery is completely depleted, charge the handset for at least 30 minutes
before use.
Remove the battery and then install it again. If that still does not work, it may be
necessary to purchase a new battery.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working
telephone. If the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the
wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.
I cannot dial out.
Try all the above suggestions.
Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the handset takes a
second or two to synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial
tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.
If 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).
Eliminate any background noise. Mute the cordless handset before dialing, or dial
from another room in your home with less background noise.
If you have changed your telephone service to digital service from a cable
company or a VoIP service provider, the telephone line may need to be rewired
to allow all existing telephone jacks to work. Contact your service provider for
more information.
The answering system does not answer after correct number of rings.
Make sure the answering system is on. When the answering system is on, the
handset shows ANS ON and the /ANS ON/OFF light on the telephone base is on.
If toll saver is selected, the number of rings changes to two when there are
new messages.
If the memory is full or the answering system is off, the answering system
answers after 0 rings. In some cases, the answering system is affected by the
ringing system used by the telephone service provider.
If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your
answering system answers before your voicemail answers. To get help with your
voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider.
If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting
the fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine
documentation for information on compatibility with answering systems.
The answering system does not record messages.
Make sure the answering system is on.
Make sure the memory of the answering system is not full. When the answering
machine memory is full, it does not record new messages until some old
messages are deleted.
If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your
answering system answers before your voicemail answers. To determine how
many rings activate your voicemail, contact your telephone service provider.
If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting
the fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine
documentation for information on compatibility with answering systems.
The messages on the answering system are incomplete.
If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the answering
system disconnects the call after the preset recording time.
If the memory on the answering system becomes full during a message, the
answering system stops recording and disconnects the call.
If the caller’s voice is very soft, the answering system may stop recording and
disconnect the call.
