TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
In case of difficulty, please check the following Troubleshooting Guide before seeking service.
Problem | Solution |
No dial tone | • Check installation: |
| — Is the base power cord connected to a working outlet? |
| — Is TALK light on? |
| — Is the telephone line cord connected to the base unit and |
| the wall jack? |
| • Disconnect the base from the wall jack and connect another |
| phone to the same jack. If there is no dial tone in the second |
| phone, the problem might be your wiring or local service. |

| the base unit. |
