Make sure your headset is charged.
Make sure your headset is subscribed to base. See Subscription button. Press the call button on your headset.
If using a lifter, make sure the lifter is lifting the handset high enough to operate the hookswitch; set to a higher setting if necessary.
Adjust the configuration switch on the base until a dial tone is heard. Fine tune the listening volume on the headset.
If the volume is still too low, adjust the Listening volume dial on the base.
Make sure there is at least 12 inches between your base and your computer, and 6 inches between your base and your telephone. You may hear static as your headset is going out of range; move closer to the base.
