I have an extension line of the telephone in my room...?

Question

the extension in my room connects to my computer and the other one is connected to my telephone unit (cordless phone).(i bought a wire that can connect all of them).i wanted to add another unit (a corded phone) but when i connected it,everytime the phone rings it doesn't make a full ring,only half ring then nothing.(but i can still answer the phone and the person calling is still on the other line).my question is,why does it only make a half ring when i added another telephone unit?

Answer 1

because it doesn't get enough juice  (volts) to make a full ring!!  you can buy a ringer amplifier  at Radio Shack!!

Answer 2

the phone that you pluged in that caused that 1/2 ring is defective... throw it out the window and get yourself another phone...

Answer 3

one is the phone that is doing a half ring could be bad. if it is new. return it to the store and get a new one.
