Testing the Connection
Pick up the handset from the cradle and press TALK/FLASH. You should hear a dial tone, and the display should show Talk.
What if I can’t hear a dial tone?
Check the telephone cord connection on the base.
What if the display doesn’t show Talk?
• Check the battery pack connection in the handset.
• Make sure the battery pack is fully charged.
• Make sure the AC adapter cord is securely connected to the . AC IN 8V jack and a standard power outlet.
• Try resetting the handset (see page 60).
Make a quick test call, and then press END to hang up.
What if there is a lot of static?
Check the sources of interference described in Choosing the
Best Location (see page 6): is the base near any of those?
What if the call doesn’t go through?
Try changing the dialing mode (see the next section).
Note: Make sure you can get a dial tone on any accessory handsets that were packaged with your phone.
