The Phone Doesn't Work At All

Make sure the Power Cord is plugged

Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the Base Unit and
the telephone wall jack.

Make sure the batteries are properly charged. If the 'LOW BATTERY' message
is shown, the battery pack needs charging.

No Dial Tone

First check all the suggestions above.

If you still don't hear a dial tone, disconnect the Base Unit from the telephone
jack and connect a different phone. If there is no dial tone on that phone either,
the problem is in your wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company.

You Get Noise, Static, Or A Weak Signal Even When

You're Near The Base Unit

Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the Base Unit can
sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the Base Unit to
another outlet.

You Get Noise, Static, Or A Weak Signal When You're

Away From The Base Unit

You may be out of range. Either move closer to the Base, or relocate the Base
Unit.

The layout of your home may be limiting the range. Try moving the Base Unit
to another position.

The Handset Does Not Ring When You Receive A Call

Make sure you have the Handset ringer activated. To set the ringer, see
HANDSET SETTINGS and BASE SETTINGS.

Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the Base Unit and
the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

You may be too far from the Base Unit.

You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all
of them to ring. Try unplugging some of the other phones.
