[. . . ] Connect the plug on the Headset cord to the jack (under a small rubber flag) on the cordless Handset.

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 five-beep signal (sad-tone) when you try to use the handset: · Out of range is indicated by a five-beep signal (sad-tone). A Two-beep signal during phone mode or program mode indicates low battery. · If moving closer to the Base doesn't help, try following the directions above for reinitializing 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: · Make sure the Base antenna is fully upright. · Press and release 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. · 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.
