Battery Information
Fully charged, the battery should provide about 5 hours of talk time and about 6 days of standby
time. For best results, return the handset to the cradle after each call to keep it fully charged.
Keep an eye on the battery status icon. When the battery gets too low, the handset shows a low
battery alert. If you hear a strange beep during a call, check the display: if you see the low battery
alert, nish your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the cradle. If the
handset is in standby, none of the keys will operate.
With normal use, the battery should last about one year. Replace the battery when the talk time
becomes short even when the battery is charged. To buy a replacement battery, call the Parts
Department listed on the front cover.

Noise or Static On The Line
The most common cause of noise or static on a cordless phone is interference. Here
are some common household sources of interference:
electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens
computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL modems
radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless controllers, or
wireless headphones or speakers
large florescent light fixtures (especially if they give off a buzzing noise)
other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems, intercom systems, or
broadband Internet service
If the static is...
on 1 handset/in 1 location: on all handsets/in all locations:
Press
SELECT/CHANNEL
to change frequencies.
Check nearby for one of the interference sources.
Try moving the handset away from a suspected
source, or try moving the source so it’s not
between the handset and the base.
Try moving closer to the base. There is always
more noise at the edges of the base's range.
-
-
-
-
Check near the base for the
source of interference.
Try moving the base away
from a suspected source, or
turn off the source if possible.
If you have any service that
uses the phone line, you might
need a filter (see below).
-
-
-
Installing a telephone line lter or DSL lter
Broadband Internet services that use the phone line can
interfere with telephones. One common service−DSL
−often causes static on telephones. A DSL filter or line
filter usually solves this problem. (The technician who
installed your DSL service might have left some filters
for you; if not, call your DSL provider or look in any
electronics store.) Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and then plug your
phone's base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.
Weak or Hard To Hear Audio
If a caller’s voice sounds weak or soft, you might be too far from the base or the signal
might be blocked by large metal objects or walls. The handset’s battery may be weak.
Try moving around while you’re on a call or moving closer to the base.
Make sure the handset’s battery is fully charged.
Try adjusting the volume of the earpiece.
Re-registering the handsets
When you first put your handsets into the base, they register to the base so they can
communicate with it. You must re-register all handsets in the following situations:
When there is a power failure that lasts more than one hour.
If the battery is completely discharged (remember to charge the battery fully first).
Any time one or more handsets can't connect to the base.
If you suspect another device might be accessing your base (a rare situation).
With no handsets in the base cradle, press and hold
FIND HS
on the base.
While holding
FIND HS
, place the first handset in the base. The charge/in use light
on the base should flash. If it doesn't, pick up the handset and start again.
Wait for at least 5 seconds, then pick up the handset and press
TALK/FLASH
. If you
hear a dial tone and the display says TALK, hang up and go on to the next handset.
If not, place this handset back in the base to try again. (You don't need to hold
FIND
HS
this time.)
One by one, place each handset in the base for at least 5 seconds. Check for a dial
tone on each handset before moving to the next one.
Re-register all your handsets at the same time: any handsets that are not
properly re-registered may not be able to communicate with the base.
Handling Liquid Damage
If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the exterior plastic
housing is affected, wipe off the liquid & use as normal.
If any liquid enters the plastic housing (e.g., the vents on the base or the handset
battery compartment) or you can hear liquid in the phone, follow the steps below:
Handset Base
Remove the battery cover & disconnect the battery.
Let dry for at least 3 days with the battery
disconnected and the cover off for ventilation.
After the handset dries, reconnect the battery pack
and replace the cover. Recharge the battery fully
(15-20 hours) before using.

Using the System While You're Away from Home
You can also operate your answering system from any touch-tone phone. Before you
can use this feature, you have to program a security code (see the menu options,
above).
Remember to make a note of your new security code!
Dialing in to your system
Call your telephone number and wait for the system to answer. (If your answering
system is off, it will answer after about ten rings and sound a series of beeps instead
of your greeting.)
During the greeting (or beeps), press
0
and immediately enter your security code.
(You have 3 tries to enter you security code: if you enter it wrong 3 times, the system
hangs up and returns to standby.)
The system announces the current time, the number of messages stored in memory,
and a help prompt. Then it starts beeping intermittently to let you know it's waiting
for your command.
When you hear the
intermittent
beeping, enter a
command from the
chart to the right.
If you don't press any keys for 15 seconds, the phone will hang up and return
to standby.
