My telephone
base doesn’t
work at all.
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.
Make sure you plug the telephone line cord securely
and firmly into the telephone base and the telephone
wall jack.
Reset the telephone base. Unplug the electrical power.
Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back
in. Allow up to one minute for the telephone base
to reset.
You may need to purchase four AA alkaline batteries
as backup battery to make the telephone base work in
the event of a power failure. Please refer to Optional
backup battery installation on page 9in this
user’s manual.
I cannot get a
dial tone from the
corded handset.
First try all the suggestions above.
Make sure you plug the handset cord securely and
firmly into the HANDSET jack on the telephone base
and the corded handset.
If the previous suggestions do not work, disconnect
the telephone base from the telephone jack and
connect to a different telephone. If there is no dial
tone on that telephone either, the problem is in your
wiring or local service. Contact your telephone
service provider.
Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a
new line cord.
I cannot dial out.
First try all the suggestions above.
Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The
corded handset might take a second or two to connect
the telephone base and produce a dial tone. This is
normal. Wait an extra second before dialing.
Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a
television, radio or other appliances might cause
the telephone to not dial out properly. If you cannot
eliminate the background noise, first try muting the
corded handset before dialing, or dialing from another
room by a cordless handset with less background noise.
