Appendix
There is no dial
tone
First, try all the above suggestions.
Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. It
might be out of range.
The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try install-
ing a new telephone line cord.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack and
connect a different telephone. If there is no dial tone on the
telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or local serv-
ice. Contact your local telephone company.
The telephone
does not ring
when there is an
incoming call
Make sure the ringer is on (page 12-13).
Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are
plugged in properly (page 6).
The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone
base. Move it closer to the telephone base.
There may be too many extension telephones on the telephone
line to allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging
some of them.
If the other telephones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service.
Contact the local telephone company (charges may apply).
