TELEPHONE SOLUTIONS

 

No dial tone

 

Check or repeat installation steps.

Make sure base power cord is connected to a working electrical outlet.

Make sure the telephone line cord is connected to the base and the modular phone jack.

Connect another phone to the same jack; if there is still no dial tone, 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.

Make sure the battery is properly charged (12 hours).

Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly.

Did the handset beep when you pressed the talk/callback button? The battery may need to be charged.

Place handset in charge cradle for at least 20 seconds to reset.
