If the CHARGE/TALK indicator does not light when you place the handset on the base, be sure the battery is connected to the pins inside the battery compartment (see "Replacing the Battery") and the AC adapter is securely con- nected to the base.

Also, check the charging contacts on the handset and base. If the contacts are dirty or tarnished, gently clean them with a pencil eraser.

2.Lift the handset, press TALK, and listen for a dial tone.

3.Press any number other than 0.

If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone service. Leave TONE/ PULSE set to TONE.
