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.
Check to make sure the phone is not on hold.
In the event of a power failure when there is not a charged 9V
battery installed, Line 2 cannot be used. Use Line 1 to make your call.
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 phone.
An Error Tone Sounds During Area Code Programming
If you try to exit area code programming without entering a Home Area
Code, you will hear an error tone. Follow the instructions to “Program
Home Area Code” under “Table/Desk Installation”in the INSTALLATION
section of this manual.
Call Cannot Be Dialed or is Dialed Slowly
In the event of a power failure,a charged 9V battery must be installed for
the phone to dial out or receive calls. If no battery is installed the phone
will not ring, but can be used to make a call on Line 1.
Difficulty Storing Numbers in Memory
Make sure you are pressing the correct sequence of buttons for storing
numbers in one-touch and two-touch locations.
Telephone Does Not Ring
Make sure the ringer volume is not turned 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.
