CL-65 

Q: There is no response when I press any key; what do I do?
A: Verify you are using RECHARGEABLE batteries. Take out the batteries for a few seconds and re-insert. Verify no keys are jammed.

Q: No dial tone/can not make a call.
A1: Check the AC adapter and the phone cord connection (refer to page 9 of the user's manual).
A2: Make sure you are not too far from the base.
A3: Check the phone cord by replacing it with a cord from another phone that is in working order.
A4: Press the "TALK" button and verify if the online indicator light is on. The base should light up if the "TALK" button is pressed on the handset (if the base does not light up, the handset and the base will need to be registered together).
A5: If this is a new handset, verify that the batteries are charged and installed correctly in the battery compartment. Remember; you must register it to the base before using.

To register: Press and hold the "PAGE" button on the base for six seconds; a confirmation tone should sound. Then press and hold the "PAGE" button on the handset for six seconds. Base and handset should register.

Q: The phone rings but does not speak the incoming number.
A: In the battery compartment, slide the bottom switch to the left. Press the number buttons on the keypad to see if it announces the numbers.

Q: The phone refuses to register.
A: The base's memory must be wiped out. To restore, press and hold the PAGE button on the base until it does one long beep and one short beep, quickly press the base PAGE button seven more times and wait. The base flasher will begin flashing faster indicating that it has deleted the memory. This will now allow you to register normally.

Q: How do I change from Pulse dialing to Tone dialing?
A: Hold the star key down for 6 seconds.

Q: Can make calls but cannot retrieve voicemail or open front gate. What do I do?
A: Press all keys on the keypad and confirm there is a tone for each key. If there is only a click sound this means pulse dialing is active, refer to the previous question to turn off pulse dialing.

Q: I cannot hear the other party too well
A: Press the "AMP" key for extra amplification. Adjust tone controls to get the best voice clarity. Recharge handset if the battery icon shows that the battery is low.

Q: I cannot program one-touch memories.
A: Programming must be done while the phone is off-line. Enter the number and press and hold memory key for five seconds to save.

Q: There is too much static noise in the receiver.
A1: If you have a DSL computer modem service, make sure you have installed a DSL filter to block the DSL noise. DSL filters can be purchased at RadioShack, Best Buy, Walmart and other retail outlet stores with telephone products. You may also get the DSL filters FREE from your phone company/DSL Provider.

Q: The other party's voice comes out of the back of the handset instead of the receiver
A: You are in speaker mode. Press "TALK" to disable speaker mode.

Q: Can I turn off the talking keypad but keep the talking CID?

Q: Can I put alkaline batteries (non-rechargeable) in the base or handset?
A: No! The use of non-rechargeable batteries can cause battery leakage and will void your battery warranty!

A: Do not dispose of used batteries in the trash. Always recycle used batteries through the local community recycling center.

Q: My phone only rings 2 times; can I change the number of rings on my phone?
A: It will continue to ring if you do not have an answering service from your telephone provider. If you do have the answering service, you can control the number of rings through your phone.

Q: My phone beeps every 6 minutes.

Q: Can I change the melody on the phone?
