Appendix 63 Troubleshooting My handset beeps and is not performing normally. Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug the telephone base into a different working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch. Move the handset closer to the telephone base.
Appendix 64 I hear other calls when using the cordless handset. Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack. Plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in the wiring or telephone service. Call your telephone service provider.
Appendix 65 Troubleshooting Caller ID entries do not match the numbers I need to dial. Caller ID service delivers 10 digits (the area code plus the seven-digit number). If you need to dial something other 10 digits, see View dialing options on page 40 for instructions on changing the number.

Appendix 67 Troubleshooting The answering system does not respond to remote commands. Make sure your remote access code is correct (page 46). Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone telephone. When dialing a number, there should be tones. If there are clicks, then it is not a touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system.
