Q: There is no response when I press any key; what do I do?
A: Take out the battery for a few seconds and re-insert. Verify no keys are jammed, (memory keys 1, 4, 6, 7, tone-up, and redial are more prone to jam.) If keys are jammed, slide off the plastic cover for the address labels and remove the paper label. Contact Serene and an updated label will be sent to prevent a key jam.
Q: No dial tone/ cannot make a call
A: Press talk and verify if the online indicator light is on. The base should light up if "TALK" is pressed on the handset. (If the base does not light up, the handset and base need to be registered together.) 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: I can make calls but cannot retrieve voicemail or open front gate. What do I do?
A: CL 65/30 cannot open the gate because the signal is too short. Set a one-touch memory for gate control.
(Gated housing selection is used to open a security front gate in a housing or apartment complex. By pushing the button, it will buzz someone into the complex.)
Q: Handset does not hold charge
A: Turn on talking CID feature, when the battery is low there will be a repetitive audio warning. Monitor how long the battery holds a charge.
