My cordless
handset isn’t
performing
normally. • Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into
the telephone base. Plug the power adapter into a
different, working electrical outlet not controlled by a
wall switch.
• Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone
base. You might have moved out of range.
• Reset the telephone base. Unplug the electrical power.
Wait for 15 seconds then plug it back in. Allow up to
one minute for the cordless handset and telephone
base to reset.
• Other electronic products can cause interference
to your cordless phone. Try installing your phone
as far away from these types of electronic devices
as possible: television sets, VCRs, or other cordless
telephones.
