[. . . ] · 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 experience interference, move away from the microwave If the above suggestions don't solve the problem, try re-initializing the Handset and Base: 1 Disconnect the power to the Base. If you hear a two-beep signal when you try to use the Handset: · You might be out of range. · If moving closer to the Base doesn't help, try following the directions above for re-initializing the Handset and Base. 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 have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. If you hear noise or interference when using the phone: · You may be out of range. · Press and release PROG/CHAN 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. 19 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY · Using the Handset near household appliances (microwaves, computers, television, stereos, etc. ) can sometimes cause interference. · 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. · If the buttons don't work, try placing the Handset in the Base for at least 15 seconds. If you hear other calls while using your phone: · Press PROG/CHAN 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. If you lose a call after changing channels: You were probably almost out of range. Before placing another call, set the Handset in the Base for at least 15 seconds.
