Troubleshooting

Ensure the telephone line cord is securely connected to both the wall jack and the main charging cradle. Check if the AC power adapter is properly plugged into the main cradle and a working electrical outlet. - Handset Not Charging:
Verify that the handset is correctly seated in the charging cradle. Check the power connection to the charging cradle. Clean the charging contacts on both the handset and the cradle with a dry cloth. - Poor Sound Quality / Static:
Move the handset closer to the main base unit. Avoid placing the base unit near other electronic devices (e.g., microwaves, Wi-Fi routers) that may cause interference. Check the telephone line cord for damage. - Display is Blank:
