TELEPHONE

PROBLEM

No dial tone

Dial tone is OK, but can’t dial out

Handset does not ring

SOLUTION

• Check installation:

Is the base power cord connected to a working outlet?

Is the PHONE or SPEAKER 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?

Did the handset beep when you pressed the PHONE button? Did the light come on? The battery may need to be charged.

Make sure the TONE/PULSE switch on the base is correctly set.

Make sure the RINGER switch on the handset is turned to ON.

You may have too many extension phones on your line. Try unplugging some phones.
