IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
If this telephone does not work
properly, try the following
suggestions before seeking repair
assistance.
No Dial Tone
• Make sure all plugs are connected
properly. Inspect the line cord
connections at the modular jack
and at the telephone. Also inspect
the coiled handset cord connection
at both ends.
• Unplug the telephone and connect
it to another modular jack. If it
still does not work, and other
telephones in your home are
working, the problem is with this
telephone.
Call Cannot Be Dialed Or Is
Dialed Slowly
• Reset the Dial Mode switch. Make
sure you choose the correct dialing
method; touch tone dialing will
not work if you have dial pulse
(rotary) service.
• See “Installation” to select the
correct dial mode. If you have
pulse dialing service, you cannot
dial numbers with the telephone
set in the touch-tone mode.
• If you just used Temporary Tone,
leave the handset on the base for
a few seconds before making
another call.
Telephone Does Not Ring
• Make sure the RINGER switch is
set in the LO or HI position.
• If there are several other
telephones on the same line, try
disconnecting some of the other
telephones. Having too many
telephones connected can also
create problems such as low ringer
volume, or impaired sound quality
during calls.
Difficulty Storing Numbers In
Memory
• Review “One-Touch Dialing” and
“Speed Dialing” to make sure you
are pressing the correct sequence
of buttons.
• If you are interrupted by a
recorded announcement telling
you to hang up (or a loud buzzing
noise), hang up and try to enter the
number more quickly.
• Try calling the number you want
to store into memory. When a call
is ended, press
,
and a memory button (or press
and a memory location
1-9).
• If someone lifts an extension
phone while you are storing
numbers in memory, programming
might be interrupted. Make sure
all extensions are on hook while
storing numbers in memory.
• You might not hear the
confirmation beep if the
RECEIVER (handset) volume is
set too low, or if you are in a noisy
location.
• If the number is more than 24
digits long, make sure you follow
the directions for “Dialing Long
Numbers.”
