TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

This section includes a list of frequently asked questions for problems you may encounter with your ThermoDECT telephone. If your telephone is not operating as you think it should, check here before arranging for servicing.

Problems turning on the telephone

"I cannot hear a dial tone or get the LCD display to work."

Check to make sure the telephone is properly set up:

• Is the base unit plugged into the telephone line and AC power source? See the base unit manual for instructions.
• Is the AC power source turned on at the socket?
• Are the batteries properly installed in the handset? See page 6 for instructions.

ENG

If the problem persists, please contact our help line following the instructions on our website (www.oregonscientific.com). Never attempt to repair or adjust the telephone yourself. This can cause damage to the unit, electrical shock, and may invalidate your warranty.

Problems making and answering calls

"I cannot make or answer calls."

- Try moving the handset closer to the base unit.

- The battery charge level may be low. The battery life shortens when you use the Speakerphone (handsfree) mode. Check the LCD display for the low battery warning signal ☐. If the battery is low, place the handset in the charging cradle until the battery signal appears full.

- Check the power connection by switching off the power at the main socket, waiting a few seconds, then switching it back on.

"When I press the phone button, I hear the busy tone."

You will hear a busy tone if the line is engaged with another handset that is registered to the same base unit. Check the LCD display area for the EXT symbol. This symbol indicates that someone else is already on the line.

"When I press the keys on my handset, nothing happens. The display is showing the symbol."

The Ⓞ symbol means that the keypad lock feature has been activated. Refer to page 25 for instructions on how to unlock the keypad.

"When I press the keys on my handset, digits appear on the display but I cannot make an outside call."

- You may have inadvertently activated the call barring function on this handset, which prevents calls from being placed.

- The handset may be unable to find the base unit. Try moving closer to the base unit.

- If you have registered additional handsets to the same base unit, make sure they are not already on a call. The LCD display on your handset will display the EXT symbol if the line is engaged.

- The dial mode setting may be incorrect. Refer to page 15 for instructions on how to set the dial mode.

"My call was cut off when I went out of range of the base unit. Now I cannot use my handset."

Please move the handset closer to the base unit.

"I hear a tone while I am using my handset, and the battery symbol on the display looks empty."

The battery needs to be recharged. Put the handset into the charging cradle until the battery symbol looks full 🎯 may take up to 15 hours to fully recharge.

ENG

"I just recharged the batteries, but I still get a warning that they are not charged" The batteries may need to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries gradually lose their ability to be recharged as they get older. Replace the batteries with two rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (AAA size).

"The handset does not ring when a call comes in."

• Check that you have not turned off the ringer volume level. Refer to page 16 for instructions.
• Check that the total REN value of all equipment connected to your telephone line is not more than 4. You may need to disconnect one or more telephones to see if this helps.

"The caller display feature is not working"

You must subscribe for caller ID services through your telephone network provider for the caller ID to display on your ThermoDECT telephone. Please check with your provider.

"The caller display works but the caller's name does not display even when I am sure the caller is using the same number that I entered in the phone book."

If the caller's number does not exactly match what you have entered in your phone book, including the STD code and any prefixes, the phone book cannot match the name to the caller ID. Check the phone book to make sure the full number is stored there.

"I pressed the phone button several times, but keep getting the busy tone.

Your handset may no longer be registered with the base unit. Unplug the AC power source from the bottom of the base unit, then plug it back in. Press and hold the PAGE button until the blue IN USE light flashes. Then, follow the instructions on page 7 to re-register your handset.

"I keep hearing a short beep on my handset, and the display is flashing the word 'Base'."

Your handset may temporarily lose its synchronization with the base unit due to radio interference in your area. When this happens, you will hear a beep and see the word Base while the base unit switches to another channel to overcome the interference. You can move closer to the base unit to help reduce your telephone's susceptibility to radio interference. If you do not wish to hear the beep tone, you can turn it off following the instructions on page 17.

Problems with multi-handset use

"I'm having problems registering a new handset."

• Sometimes it helps to unplug and then reconnect your base unit to its AC power source before you start the registration procedure.
• Make sure you have selected a base number that is not already assigned. Choose a number that does not have a [√] check mark next to it.

ENG

• You may have already registered 5 handsets to the base unit. If so, you will need to remove one or add another base unit before you can register the new handset.
• If you are replacing a faulty handset, make sure you have fully removed the faulty one before registering the new one. Refer to the instructions on page 16 for more information.
• If you are still experiencing problems, you may need to reset all the registrations, then start over. Refer to page 7 for instructions.

"I cannot make a call."

Only one outside call and one intercom call can take place at the same time. Make sure no one else is already using the phone; if so, you will see the EXT symbol on the handset display area, and will hear the busy tone when you try to place a call.

Problems with programming

"I changed the PIN, and I've forgotten the new one."

Please refer to page 19 for instructions on resetting the PIN number.

"I tried to register a new handset, and now all the handsets are flashing "Base" and I can not use the telephone."

Reset your telephone, then try the registration process again. If you are still experiencing problems, reset all your handsets and base units following the instructions on page 9, then re-register the handsets.
