No dial tone

Check or repeat installation steps:

Make sure the base power cord is connected to a working electrical outlet. Make sure the telephone line cord is connected to the base and the wall jack.

Connect another phone to the same jack. If it doesn’t work, the problem might be your wiring or local service.

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

Make sure the battery is properly charged (for 14 hours).

Dial tone is ok, but can’t dial out

Make sure the type of phone service you are subscribed to is TONE or

PULSE.

Handset does not ring

Make sure the handset ringer is set to On.

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

You may have too many extension phones on your line. Try unplugging some extensions.

Check for a dial tone. If no dial tone is heard, see “No dial tone”.

You experience static, noise, or fading in and out

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