TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

In case of difficulty, please check the following Troubleshooting Guide before seeking service.

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 the base unit’s range? Move

 

closer to the base unit.

 

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

 

• Is the battery pack installed correctly?

 

• If the phone still does not work, disconnect the power

 

cord and remove the battery pack. Then reconnect the

 

power cord and reinstall the battery pack. Place

 

handset in the base for 30 seconds to allow it to

 

reinitialize.

 

 

Dial tone is OK, but

• Make sure the tone/pulse setting is programmed

can’t dial out

correctly.
