TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your telephone, but if you do, these suggestions might help. If you still have problems, check other phones on the same line to see if they work properly. If they do and the problem does not seem to be with your phone service, take your phone to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
