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 connections 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
Make sure you choose the correct dial mode (see FEATURE
SETTINGS). If you have dial pulse service, you cannot dial numbers
with the phone set to touch tone dialing.
If you have just used the Temporary Tone feature, leave the handset on
the base for a few seconds before making another call.
Telephone Does Not Ring
Make sure the RINGER switch is not set to OFF.
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
Make sure you are pressing the correct sequence of buttons for storing
numbers.
If you are interrupted by a recorded announcement telling you to hang
up or by a loud buzzing noise, hang up and try to enter the number
more quickly.
Try calling the number you want to store in memory. When the call is
ended, press d, O, R.
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.
