IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:
• Make sure the handset ringer is on.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is connected firmly to the base and the
telephone jack.
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged firmly into an outlet not controlled by
a wall switch.
• You might be too far from the base; move closer.
• You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to
allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.
• Press c to change to another channel.
If you hear other calls while using your phone:
• Press c to change to another channel.
• Disconnect the base from the modular jack and plug in a corded telephone.
If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or
local service. Call your local telephone service company.
If messages are incomplete:
• If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the
system disconnects the call after 4 minutes.
• If the caller pauses for more than 6 seconds, the system stops recording
and disconnects the call.
• If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system stops
recording and disconnects the call.
If you have difficulty hearing messages:
Check the volume setting on the base.
If the system does not answer after the correct number of rings:
• Make sure the ON/OFF light is on. If it is not, press O on the base.
• If Toll Saver is on, the number of rings changes to two when you have
new messages waiting.
• In some cases, the system may be affected by the ringing system used by
the local telephone company.
• If the memory is full or the system is off, the system answers after 10 rings.
If CL appears in the Message Window:
You need to reset the clock.
