Digital Home Phone handset issues

  1. Check you’re making HD calls - you’ll see a HD logo on your handset when on a call. The other person you’re calling has to have HD calling for it to work.
  2. Try another registered handset to see if there's a problem with the original handset or the phone line. Try plugging a phone into the phone port on the back of your Smart Hub (your router).
  3. Check you're in range of your hub. You'll see a 'No link to the Hub' message if you're too far away.
  4. Check the handset batteries, they need to be rechargeable.

Other cordless handsets issues

  1. Check you're making HD calls, if your handset supports it.
  2. Make sure your phone or phone base is plugged into the phone port on the back of your Smart Hub.
  3. Check your handset batteries and that it's charged.

Wired handset issues

Make sure your phone is plugged into the phone port on the back of the Smart Hub or into a Digital Voice Adapter, that is connected to your Smart Hub.
