Replace the cover by sliding it up into place.
The new battery pack must be charged before
using the phone. Place the handset in the base and
allow it to charge for at least 24 hours the first charge.
The telephone might operate before that, but for best
performance, let the battery pack charge fully.
Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light
turns on. The battery pack is typically fully charged in
eight hours.
You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the
handset to the base after each use.
If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator, even after
eight hours of charging, the battery should be replaced. Use
only Replacement battery 3301 (SKU# 91076).
CAUTION: Charge the battery provided with or
identified for use with this product only in accor-

power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). Even so, this handset and base can communicate
over only a certain distance — which can vary with the
locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the
construction of your home or office. For best performance,
keep the base antenna fully upright.
If you move out of range without pressing O, your
phone will be left “off the hook.” To hang up properly, walk
back into range, periodically pressing O.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the
handset might not ring — or if it does ring, the call might
not connect when you press P. Move closer to the
base, then press P to answer the call.

Please retain your receipt as your proof of purchase.
If you hear noise or interference when using the phone:
•
•
•
Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.

Press and release C to change to another of the
30 channels available. If noise is exceptionally loud,
move closer to the base before changing channels.
Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as
the base can sometimes cause interference. Try moving
the appliance or the base to another outlet.
If the phone doesn’t work at all, check these
items first:
•
•
•
•
Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet not
controlled by a wall switch.
•
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into
the base unit and the modular jack.
The layout of your home or office might be limiting the
operating range. Try moving the base to another
location, preferably on an upper floor.
•
•
Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.
If the handset does not beep when you press P, the
battery might need charging.
If the buttons don’t work, try placing the handset in the
base for at least 15 seconds.
•
•
Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly.
If you have dial pulse (rotary) service on your phone
line, make sure the dial mode is set to dial pulse (see
INSTALLATION).
If you hear other calls while using your phone:
•
Press C to change to another channel.
•
Disconnect the base from the modular jack and plug in
a corded telephone. If you still hear other calls, the
problem is probably in your wiring or local service.
Call your local telephone service company.
If the above suggestions don’t solve the problem, try
re-initializing the handset and base:
1
Disconnect the power to the base.
Remove the handset battery pack.
Wait a few minutes.
If you lose a call after changing channels:

•
You might be out of range. Move closer to the base and
try again.
If moving closer to the base doesn’t help, try following the
directions above for re-initializing the handset and base.
The handset battery charge may have become low. Try
charging the handset battery.
If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:
•
Make sure the handset ringer is on.
•
Make sure the telephone line cord is connected firmly
to the base and the telephone jack.
•
Make sure the AC adapter is plugged firmly into an
outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
•
•
You might be too far from the base; move closer.
You might have too many extension phones on your
telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try
unplugging some of them.
