If the Check Battery or WARNING! Use Rechargeable Batteries Only warning is displayed on the screen of your Handset or Base Unit:

•Non-rechargeable batteries have been installed. Remove them immediately and replace with rechargeable NiMH batteries (see page 7,10).

•Rechargeable batteries have been installed but may be old or need to be replaced. Remove them and re-install new rechargeable batteries. Let the new batteries fully charge the Base Unit before you use your phone again. (See page 7,10 for battery installation).

The phone doesn't work at all

•Make sure the Power Cord is plugged in.

•Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the Base Unit and the telephone wall jack.

•Make sure the batteries are properly charged. If you get a ‘LOW BATTERY’ message or indication, the battery cells need charging.

No dial tone

•First try all the suggestions above.

•If you still don't hear a dial tone, disconnect the Base Unit from the telephone jack and connect a different phone. If there is no dial tone on that phone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company.

•Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the Base Unit can sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the Base Unit to another outlet.
