My telephone does not work at all.

Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly (page 3). For optimum daily performance, return the handset to the telephone base or charger after use.

Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and the telephone wall jack.

Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base to synchronize.

Charge the battery in the handset for up to 16 hours.

If the battery is completely depleted, it can take up to 10 minutes to charge the handset before LOW BATTERY appears on the screen (page 3).

Remove and re-insert the battery. If that still does not work, it might be necessary to purchase a new battery.

Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working telephone. If the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the local service. Call the local telephone company.

Low Battery shows on screen.

Place the handset in the telephone base or charger for recharging.

Remove and re-install the battery and use it until fully depleted, then recharge the handset in the telephone base or charger for up to 16 hours.

If the above measures do not correct the problem, replace the battery.

The battery does not charge in the handset or the handset battery does not accept charge.

Make sure the handset is placed in the telephone base or charger correctly. The CHARGE light on the handset should be on.

Remove and reinstall the battery, then charge for up to 16 hours.

If the handset is in the telephone base or charger but the CHARGE light on the handset is not on, refer to The charge light is off in this section.

If the battery is completely depleted, it can take up to 10 minutes to charge the handset before LOW BATTERY appears on the screen (page 3).

Purchase a new battery. Refer to the Battery section (page 31).
