OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

interference. Try moving the appliance or the
base unit to another outlet.

BASE UNIT.
* You may be out of range. Either move closer
to the base, or relocate the base unit.

second or third floor, or to some other
location.
THE HANDSET DOES NOT RING WHEN
YOU RECEIVE A CALL.
* Ensure that the ringer is turned on.
* Make sure the telephone line cord is
plugged firmly into the base unit and the
telephone jack. Make sure the power cord
is plugged in.

to ring. Try unplugging some of the other
phones.
To Change or Replace a Speed Dial
Number
To change or replace a stored number

three or four times. Each additional beep
indicates an additional 2 second pause.
