installed in your home.
If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local phone company to find out
how to get one installed.
Installation
Digital Security System
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false
ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause or receive interference with nearby
TVs, microwave ovens, and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be
placed near or on top of a TV, microwave ovens, or VCR. If such
interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther
away from these appliances.
Certain other communications devices may also use the 1.9GHz
DECT frequency for communication, and, if not properly set,
these devices may interfere with each other and/or your new
telephone. If you are concerned with interference, please refer
to the owner’s manual for these devices on how to properly set
channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use
the 1.9GHz DECT frequency for communication include wireless
audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multihandset cordless telephone systems, and some long-range
cordless telephone systems.

Battery Safety Precautions
•
•
•
•
Do not burn, disassemble, mutilate, or puncture. Like other batteries of
this type, toxic materials could be released which can cause injury.
To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use only the Nickel-metal
Hydride battery listed in the User’s Guide.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Remove batteries if storing over 30 days.
Troubleshooting
ALWAYS check first
that:
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.
Everyday use
“I cannot make or
answer calls”
If the handset’s display is blank, it may have
been switched off. Press and hold the HANG-UP
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 phone. Other telephone line
cables might not work. Move the handset closer
to the base unit.
27
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.
“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.

need to wait until it has finished its call.

Do not use non-rechargeable battery in your

If the fault persists... 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 adaptor, remove it and plug a
telephone directly into the socket.
If the call now works, the adaptor may be faulty.
If you cannot make a call, the fault may be on
the exchange line. Contact the service provider.

Installation
Digital Security System
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false
ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause or receive interference with nearby TVs, microwave
ovens, and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base
of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV,
microwave ovens, or VCR. If such interference continues, move the
cordless telephone farther away from these appliances.
Certain other communications devices may also use the 1.9GHz
DECT frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these
devices may interfere with each other and/or your new telephone.
If you are concerned with interference, please refer to the owner’
s manual for these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid
interference. Typical devices that may use the 1.9GHz DECT frequency
for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless
computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and
some long-range cordless telephone systems.

If the fault persists... 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 adaptor, remove it and plug a
telephone directly into the socket.
If the call now works, the adaptor may be faulty.
If you cannot make a call, the fault may be on
the exchange line. Contact the service provider.

closer to the base unit.
Check the battery level symbol on the display.
If it is low, replace the handset on the base unit

short time and then switch back on. This may
solve the problem.

press and hold the * button to unlock it before
you make a call.

the batteries.
Make sure you are using the telephone line
cable that was supplied with your package.
Move the handset closer to the base unit
before you try again to make a call.
Move the handset closer to the base unit,
or to a different position.
Try moving the base unit so that it’s not near

You should find contact details on your phone bill.
The caller may have withheld their number by
dialing 141. Or they may be calling from a
network that does not transmit the caller’s
number (e.g. if they are making internationalcalls.)
“When I try to
make a call,
I hear busy tone”
“The volume in the
earpiece is low when
I’m on a call”
If you’re using a multi-handset system, check
whether another handset is already on a call.
Make sure you’re holding the earpiece correctly
over your ear.
Adjust the volume using the navigation key.

Do not use non-rechargeable battery in
your handset – they may explode, causing
damage.
If the fault persists... 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 adaptor, remove it and plug a
telephone directly into the socket.
If the call now works, the adaptor may be faulty.
If you cannot make a call, the fault may be on
the exchange line. Contact the service provider.
