•Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the modular jack.

•Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.

•If the handset does not beep when you press P, the battery might need charging.

•Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly.

•If you have dial pulse (rotary) service on your phone line, make sure the dial mode is set to dial pulse (see INSTALLATION).

If the above suggestions don’t solve the problem, try re-initializing the handset and base:

•You might be out of range. Move closer to the base and try again.

If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:

•Make sure the handset ringer is on.

•Make sure the telephone line cord is connected firmly to the base and the telephone jack.

•Make sure the AC adapter is plugged firmly into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
