channel by pressing and releasing the
CH button on the handset to switch to
another spare channel. Your call will not
be interrupted.
NOTE:
You must be in usable range to change
channels. If you press the CH button
when you are close to being out of

occurs, place the handset back into the
base for a few seconds to reset the
security code and then make the call
again.

TELEPHONE OPERATION (CONT.)
NOTE:
If you experience difficulty with placing or
receiving calls, the lost security code
may be the cause of the problem. When
this occurs, the handset can no longer
communicate with its base. The loss of
the code can occur any of the following
ways: if the battery is drained and needs
recharging; the handset is out of range
of the base unit; the AC adaptor is
disconnected or a power loss has
occurred; or anything that causes
electrical interference, for example
multiple cordless telephones, baby
monitors, televisions, VCR’s etc. Reset
the security code by placing the handset
on the base for 10 seconds. If that does
not work, make sure the AC adaptor is
connected. If necessary, unplug the AC
adaptor from the power source.
Disconnect the battery for 5 seconds and
then reconnect. Place the handset on the
base and then replug the AC adaptor
(see Troubleshooting).
Ringer Control
If you do not want the unit to ring, set the
RINGER switches on the side of the
handset and on the rear of the base to
OFF. The handset and base will no
longer ring when a call is being received.
The LCD display will show “RINGING”
when a call comes in.
Out of Range
If you try to place a call when you are too
far away from the base, you will hear static.
If this occurs, move closer to the base.
Flash
You can use your cordless telephone
with special services such as Call
Waiting or Three Way Calling (Special
subscription from your local telephone
company is required). During a
telephone conversation, you may hear a
tone or click, which indicates that you are
receiving another call. To speak to the
second caller and put the first caller on
hold, press the FLASH button. Press
FLASH button again to return to the
original call. You may also press the
FLASH button to obtain a new dial tone.

Your FF2128 remembers the last number
dialed.
