TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

NO DIAL TONE

Check all cabling to make sure that all connections are secure and not damaged.

Check hook switch: Does it fully extend when handset is lifted from cradle?

NO DISPLAY

Replace batteries.

Check for proper battery installation.

NO INFORMATION IS SHOWN

AFTER THE PHONE RINGS

Did you order Caller ID service from your local telephone company? This unit requires that you subscribe to Caller ID service in order to work.

Be sure to wait until the second ring before answering.

ERROR MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED

ERROR appears in the display if the unit detects anything other than valid Caller ID information during the silent period after the first ring. This message indicates either the presence of noise on the line, or that an invalid message has been sent from the telephone company.

PHONE DOES NOT DIAL OUT

Check the dial mode in the setup menu. Is it set to tone, which may not be compatible with your local dialing service?

PHONE DOES NOT RING

Is the ringer switch in the OFF position?

Are you using too many phones on one line? (The total REN of all phones on the same line should not be greater than the maximum REN for your calling area. See FCC Registration Information)

Perform the checks under the first problem (Number 1). Is the hook switch depressed fully when handset is in cradle?
