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 modular wall jack.

 

Unplug the telephone’s electrical power. Wait for approxi-

 

 

mately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one

 

 

minute for the cordless handset and base to synchronize.

 

Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16

 

 

hours.

• Remove and re-insert the battery. If that still does not work, it may be necessary to purchase a new battery. Please refer to the Battery installation & charging section of this user's manual (page 7).

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

There is no dial tone.

First, try all the above suggestions.

Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. It might be out of range.

The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try install- ing a new telephone line cord.

Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack and connect a different telephone. If there is no dial tone on the telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or local serv- ice. Contact your local telephone company.
