• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug the unit into a different
working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

for 15 seconds then plug in the battery and plug in the power. Allow up to one minute for the
cordless handset and the telephone base to synchronize.
• Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing
