this phone, try the suggestions
below. If you still have trouble, call
1 800 722-9125.
If you get a four-beep signal when
you try to use the handset:
• Place the handset in the base,
and check to make sure that the
IN USE/CHARGE indicator is on.
Unplug the AC adapter from the

The four-beep signal means that
the handset and base are not
communicating properly. This
problem may be caused by
something as simple as being out
of range while attempting to dial. If
that’s the case, you’ll be able to solve
the problem by moving closer to the
base and trying the call again.
If the phone does not work at all,
check these items first:
• Make sure the power cord is
plugged into an outlet not
controlled by a wall switch.
• Make sure the telephone line cord
is plugged firmly into the base and

If this doesn’t help, the problem may
be that the handset and base are set
to different security codes. To reset
the security code, try the suggestions
below:
• Make sure the base antenna is
upright.
• Pick up the handset, open the
battery compartment and remove
the battery pack. Wait 15 seconds,

• The layout of your home or office
may be limiting the operating
range. Try moving the base to
another location—preferably on an
upper floor.
• The base and handset may not
be set to the same security code.
Place the handset in the base for
at least 15 seconds to reset the
security code. See “If you get a
four-beep signal.”
If you lose a call after changing
channels:
If you are unable to operate special
telephone services or other equip-
ment requiring touch tone signals:
You were probably almost out of
range. Move closer to the base before
changing channels. Before placing
the call again, set the handset in the
base for at least 15 seconds.
• If you have dial pulse (rotary)
service, press
on the
handset (or on the base) before
entering information (see
“Temporary Tone”).
If the phone does not ring when
you receive a call:
• The tones generated by this
phone may not be long enough
to activate some services or
equipment. You might need to
use a different touch tone phone.
• Make sure the ringer is turned on.
If you are away from the base,
make sure the base antenna is
upright.
• Make sure the telephone line cord
is connected firmly to the base and
the telephone jack. Make sure the
power cord is plugged in.
If you have difficulty entering
numbers into Memory:
• Review “Programming a Number
into Memory” to make sure you
are pressing the correct sequence
of buttons.
• You may be too far from the base.
Move closer to the base.
• You may have too many extension
phones on your telephone line to
allow all of them to ring. Try
unplugging some of the other
phones.
Make sure you have followed all
the instructions in this booklet.
If you continue to have problems,
call 1 800 722-9125.
If the beeps produced when
dialing vary in tone, or ringing
varies in tone:
If you hear other calls while using
the phone:
• Disconnect the base from the tele-
phone jack, and plug in a regular
telephone. If you still hear other
calls, the problem is probably in
your wiring or local service. Call
your local phone company.
• Make sure your fingers are not
covering the grooves (above
battery door compartment) on the
rear of the handset while dialing
or while the phone is ringing.
• Check to make sure that the
grooves on the rear of the handset
are free of dirt and grime and are
unobstructed.
If you hear noise in the handset,
and the buttons don’t work:
• Make sure the power cord is
plugged in, and make sure the
base antenna is upright.
• Check to make sure you have
programmed your preferred
ringer type. See “Programming
the Ringer Type.”
• Make sure you are in range.
