TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

TELEPHONE

Problem

Solution

No dial tone

• Check installation:

 

— Is the base power cord connected to a working

 

outlet?

 

— Is the IN USE light on?

 

— Is the telephone line cord connected to the base

 

unit and the wall jack?

 

• Disconnect the base from the wall jack and connect

 

another phone to the same jack. If there is no dial tone

 

in the second phone, the problem might be your

 

wiring or local service.

 

• Is the handset out of range of the base?

 

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

 

• Is the battery pack installed correctly?

 

• Did the handset beep when you pressed the TALK

 

button? Did the CHARGE/ IN USE indicator come on?

 

The battery may need to be charged.

 

 

Dial tone is OK, but can't dial out

Make sure the TONE/PULSE setting is programmed correctly.

Handset does not ring • Make sure the RINGER switch on the handset is turned to ON.

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