Inspect the telephone line cord connections at the modular jack and on
the telephone.
Inspect the handset cord connections at both ends.
Unplug the telephone and connect it to another modular jack. If it still
does not work, and the other telephones using the same jack are working,
there is a problem with this telephone.
Telephone does not ring
Ensure the RINGER switch on the side of the base unit is not set to OFF.
If there are other telephones on the same line, try disconnecting some of
them. Having too many telephones connected can create problems such as
low ringer volume or impaired sound quality during calls.
Difculty storing numbers in memory
Ensure you are pressing the correct sequence of buttons for storing num-
bers.

up, or by a loud buzzing noise, hang up and try to enter the number more
quickly.

PROG, PAUSE/REDIAL, then a one-touch button (M1, M2, or M3), or
MEMORY and a memory location (0-9).
