No dial tone

•Check and repeat installation steps:

Ensure the base power cord is connected to a working outlet .

Ensure the telephone line cord is connected to the base and the wall jack.

•Disconnect the base from the wall phone jack and connect another phone to the same jack. If there is no dial tone on the second phone, the problem might be your wiring or local service.

•The cordless handset may be out of range of the base. Move closer to the base.

•Ensure the battery is properly charged (16 hours).

•Ensure the battery pack is installed correctly.

•Did the handset beep when you pressed the LINE 1, LINE 2 or handsfree button? The battery may need to be charged.

Dial tone is OK, but can’t dial out

•Make sure the TONE/PULSE setting on the base is set to the type of phone service you are subscribed to.
