To reset, place the handset on the cradle of the base unit for five seconds. Out of Range Detection The cordless telephone is equipped with Out of Range detection system. If you go too far away from the base during a call, the handset may lose link with the base unit. When this happens, the handset emits a beeping sound every second to warm you that the background noise level is too high for proper communication between the handset and the base unit. When you hear this sound, you should move closer to the base unit to reduce the noise level. Otherwise, the call will automatically cut off. TECHNICAL INFORMATION This cordless phone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficulties in using radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the following could affect the operation of your system. Noise: Electric pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electric equipment such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses. Because radio frequencies are susceptible to these noise pulses, you may occasionally hear them in your handset. Generally they are a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect in your system. Range: Because radio frequencies are used, location of the base unit can affect operating range. Try several locations in your home or business and pick the one that gives you the clearest signal. Interference: Some electronic devices operate in and/or generate interference near the operating frequencies of your cordless telephone. While several protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signals cause interference. If interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated by lowering the height of your base antenna or by relocating the base unit. You can check for interference before selecting the final base unit location by plugging in the phone. Improving Cordless Reception Follow these guidelines to improve cordless sound quality:

Select an area to install the unit where it is closest to the center of your home or office. This will 13 061703A-2 OWNERS MANUAL # 39280 ver. 061703A-1 Page: 13 ENGLISH VERSION improve the operating range of the unit. Keep the base unit away from electrical equipment. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is sometimes generated by these appliances, which can cause a degradation in cordless reception. Keep the handset batteries charged as much as possible. Weak handset batteries can limit the range of cordless operation. 061703A-2 14 OWNERS MANUAL # 39280 ver. 061703A-1 Page: 14 ENGLISH VERSION SYMPTOM No dial tone Will not ring Can not dial out Memory feature does not work TROUBLESHOOTING SOLUTION Check to see if the handset battery pack is connected inside the handset battery compartment. Make sure that the adaptor plug is connected to the base unit. Check for the telephone line cord connections, Ensure that both connectors are plugged securely on the jacks. Ensure that no other telephone is sharing the same line as the cordless telephone when off-hook. Test the phone at a different telephone wall jack and listen for a dial tone. Test a different phone in the wall jack and listen for a dial tone. Check the handset RINGER ON/OFF switch. For normal use, set to ON. The handset will not ring in OFF mode. The phone or another phone connected to the same line may be in the off-hook (IN USE) position. Try a different phone, if the problem still exists, the fault is not with the unit. Look for the Ringer Equivalence Number(REN) number printed underneath your phone(s). Sum up the total REN numbers for all the phones or answering machines connected to your telephone line. Your phone(s) may not ring if the REN total exceeds five(5). Please call your local company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area. Press the TALK button on the handset and listen for a dial tone Are you in a rotary only area? Set the TONE/PULSE switch to before dialing out. PULSE. Try a different phone in the jack. If the problem persists, the fault is not in the cordless telephone. Is the phone connected to an answering machine? Disconnect the answering machine and try to have the phone plugged into the jack alone. If it works alone, there is a compatibility problem. Purchase a 2 or 1 adaptor into the modular wall jack, and then plug the phone into one side and the answering machine on the other side of the adaptor. Make sure that the unit is in the standby mode before storing a phone number. The maximum number of digits that you can store for each memory location is 16 digits. See the Memory Dialing section for more details. 15 061703A-2 OWNERS MANUAL # 39280 ver. 061703A-1 Page: 15 ENGLISH VERSION No link between the base and handset The unit locks up and becomes inoperable You may have taken the handset at a distance away from the base that is beyond its normal operating range. Refer to the section of Operating Range in the manual for more details. In the unlikely event that the unit locks up and becomes inoperable, you can reset the system by momentarily disconnecting and reconnecting the handset battery pack. Afterwards, return the handset to its cradle on the base unit to reset the security code before using the unit. Should a power outage occur while the handset is away from the base unit, the handset must be returned to its cradle on the base unit to reset the security code when power is resumed.
