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 the Phone-in-Use 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.

 

• Is the handset out of range of the base?

 

• Make sure the battery is properly charged (12 hours).

 

• Is the battery pack installed correctly? See page 8.

 

• Did the handset beep when you pressed the phone

 

button? Did the Phone-in-Use light come on? The

 

battery may need to be charged.
