Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly.

If the screen displays LOW BATTERY, place the handset in the base and charge for at least eight hours.

If the battery does not charge after eight hours, replace it with Replacement Battery 2401, SKU# 91077.

If the above suggestions do not solve the problem, try re-initializing the handset and base (see “To re-initialize the handset and base” below).

If you have no dial tone:

Check all the previous suggestions. If you still do not hear a dial tone, disconnect the phone and try another phone in the same jack. If there is no dial tone on that phone either, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service.
