Troubleshooting Guide
No dial tone
Check installation:
Make sure the telephone line cord is connected to the
base unit and the wall phone jack.
Check the hook switch. Make sure it fully extends when
the handset is lifted from the cradle.
You must have touch-tone service on your line to use this
phone. If you do not know what type of service you have,
check with the phone company.
Make sure speakerphone indicator comes on (if
using speakerphone.)
Unplug the phone, wait 0 seconds, and plug the phone
back in. Then lift the handset to check the dial tone.
Connect another phone to the same modular jack; if the
second phone doesn’t work, the problem might be with
your wiring or local service.
Place the handset in the base for at least 0 seconds.
Phone doesn’t ring
Make sure ringer switch is set to LO or HI.
You may have too many extension phones on your line.
Unplug some extension phones.
