TROUBLESHOOTING

We do not expect you to have any problems with your TAD-1029, but if you do, the following suggestions might help.

	the base (see “Selecting a Location” on Page 7).
	Press CHANNEL to change the channel.
	Make sure the base’s antenna is fully extended
	and the handset’s antenna is properly connected.

when you receive a call.
	Return the handset to the base for about 5 sec-
	onds to reset the security access-protection code.
	Make sure the battery pack is properly connected
	and charged.
You hear other calls while	Press CHANNEL to change the channel
using your phone.
	Try another phone connected to the same line. If
	you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in
	your wiring or local service. Contact your local
	telephone company.
There is no dial tone.	Check all phone line connections.
	Make sure the AC adapter is properly connected.
	Make sure the battery pack is properly connected
	and charged. If the battery pack will not charge, re-
	place it (see “Replacing the Battery Pack” on
	Page 32).

If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the prob- lem, take your TAD-1029 to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
