Troubleshooting

If you have difficulty with your phone, please try the suggestions

listed below.

As a general rule, if a problem occurs, remove the batteries

from all the handsets in your installation for about 1 minute,

then disconnect and reconnect the power supply to the base

and reinstall the handset batteries.

Always check first

that:

Everyday use

“I cannot make or

answer calls”

You have followed all the steps listed in the user

manual to install and set up your telephone.

All connectors are firmly inserted in their sockets.

Mains power to the base unit is switched on at the

socket.

The handset’s batteries are correctly and securely

installed and are not run down.

If the handset’s display is blank, it may have been

switched off. Press and hold the HANG-UP/EXIT

key to switch it back on.

Check that the base unit’s mains power adapter is

plugged in and power is switched on.

The base unit needs mains power for normal

operation of the phone - not just for charging the

batteries.

Make sure you are using the telephone line cable

supplied with your telephone.

Other telephone line cables might not work.

Move the handset closer to the base unit.

Check the battery level symbol on the display. If it is

low, replace the handset on the base unit or charger

pod to recharge the batteries.

Switch off power at the mains socket, wait for a

short time and then switch back on. This may solve

the problem.

“When I press on

the keys, nothing

happens”

“When I key in a

number, it appears

on the display, but I

cannot make an

outside call”

“The phone does

not ring”

“I hear ‘beeps’ from

my handset while

I’m on a call”

Make sure the batteries are fitted in your handset.

If the Battery Level symbol on the display shows

‘low’, put your handset back on the cradle to charge.

Try a different position for the base unit –

somewhere higher if possible, or further from other

electrical equipment.

Try moving the handset closer to the base unit.

Check that the base unit’s mains power adapter is

plugged in and power is switched on.

Check that ring volume is not on OFF.

You may be going out of range of the base unit.

Move closer or your call may be cut off.

Check the Battery Level symbol on the display.

If it’s low, recharge the batteries.

“I cannot make a

call”

If the handset display shows KEYS LOCKED, press

and hold the * button to unlock it before you make

a call.

Only one handset (or the base unit) can be

connected to the outside line at a time.

If another handset is already using the line, you

need to wait until it has finished its call.

Batteries

“The handset’s

battery cells are

running low within

an hour or two”

“I try to recharge the

batteries but I still

get a warning that

they are low”

If the fault persists...

Before you first use the handset, you should have

left it on the base unit or charger pod for 15 hours

to charge the batteries fully. You may need to

replace the batteries. Check the connection

between the base unit and the mains power socket

unit.

You need to replace the batteries.

Dispose of used batteries safely – never burn them,

or put them where they could get punctured. Do not

use non - rechargeable batteries in your handset –

they may explode, causing damage.

Disconnect all other instruments connected to the

same line and try to make a call.

Disconnect the base unit from the telephone line

and plug a different phone into the master

telephone socket.

Try making a call. If this works, the line is OK.

If the call does not work, and you are using a two-

way socket adapter, remove it and plug a telephone

directly into the socket.

If the call now works, the adapter may be faulty.

If you cannot make a call, the fault may be on the

exchange line.

Contact the service provider.

“The volume in the

earpiece is low

when I’m on a call”

Make sure you’re holding the earpiece correctly

over your ear.

Adjust the volume using the UP/DOWN key.

TONE (also called MF or DTMF).

However, you can change to PULSE if necessary.

Note: If PULSE dialling is set, you can press to switch to TONE

dialling for the rest of that call.
