Telephone problems

Possible cause

Solution

• Batt low light on the handset

is flashing.

The handset needs recharging.

Replace the handset on the base
unit, ensuring that the base unit is
plugged in and that the

CHARGING

light is on.

• No Charging light on the

base unit.

Dirty contacts on base unit or
handset.

Clean the contacts with a dry cloth.
Heavy soiling can be removed with a
pencil eraser.

• Back-up battery fails

frequently.

Frequent power failures will drain
the back-up battery.

Unplugging the base unit from the
power supply drains the back-up
battery.

Switching the mains supply off will
drain the back-up battery.

Leave the base unit plugged in, or
remove the back-up battery before
unplugging.

Do not switch off, or remove the
back-up battery before switching off.
