My telephone does not work at all.
•Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly (pages
•Make sure that the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
•Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and the telephone wall jack.
•Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base to synchronize.
•Charge the battery in the handset for up to 10 hours.
•If the battery is completely depleted, it may take up to 30 minutes to charge the handset before LOW BATTERY appears on the screen (page 5).
•Remove and install the battery again. If that still does not work, it may be necessary to purchase a new battery.
•Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working telephone. If the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the local telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.
There is no dial tone.
•Try all the above suggestions.
•Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. It may be out of range.
•The telephone line cord may be defective. Install a new telephone line cord.
•Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and connect a different telephone. If there is no dial tone on this telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or local telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
•If you have changed your telephone service to digital service from a cable company or a VoIP service provider, the telephone line may need to be rewired to allow all existing telephone jacks to work. Contact your service provider for more information.
I cannot dial out.
•Try all the above suggestions.

second before dialing.
