5. Check for dial tone.

Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. If you cannot hear a dial tone, press VOLUME . If you still do not hear a dial tone, see the Troubleshooting section on pages 30-32 of this manual.

Your telephone will work immediately after installation using the default feature settings (see default settings in Feature summary on page 14).

NOTE: If you subscribe to caller ID services from your telephone service provider, set the home area code (see page 11) for your telephone to properly recognize and dial calls from the call history list. You may also need to set the local area code (see page 12) if you want the telephone to recognize multiple area codes.
