TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
No dial tone:
¥Press and release the hook switch. Check the hook switch: Does it fully extend when the handset is lifted from the cradle?
Cannot dial out:
¥Make sure the TONE/PULSE switch is set to the type of phone service you are subscribed to.
Phone doesnÕt ring:
¥Make sure RINGER switch (located on the handset) is set to loud or low.
¥You may have too many extension phones on your line. Unplug some extension phones.
¥Check for a dial tone. If there is no dial tone see solutions for "No dial tone."
Other party cannot hear you:
¥Make sure phone cord is securely plugged in.
¥Make sure extension phones are on the hook at the same time you're using the phone. It is normal for the volume to drop when additional extension phones are used at the same time.
Phone "howls" when handset is placed near base and handset volume level is too high: ¥ This is normal feedback due to handset volume level being set to maximum.
GENERAL PRODUCT CARE
To keep your telephone working and looking good, follow these guidelines:
¥Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances and devices that generate electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).
¥DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.
¥Avoid dropping and other rough treatment to the phone.
¥Clean with a soft cloth.
¥Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this will damage the finish.
¥Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the phone at a later date.
TELEPHONE NETWORK INFORMATION
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company, where practicable, may notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your telephone from your line.
REN NUMBER
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.
