TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

before seeking service.

— Is the base power cord connected to a working outlet?
— Is the telephone line cord connected to the base unit and
the wall jack?
• Disconnect the base from the wall jack and connect another
phone to the same jack. If there is no dial tone in the second
phone, the problem might be your wiring or local service.
• Is the Handset out of the base unit’s range? Move closer to
the base unit.
• Make sure the battery is properly charged (12 hours).
• Is the battery pack installed correctly?
• If the phone still does not work, disconnect the power cord
and remove the battery pack. Then reconnect the power cord
and reinstall the battery pack. Place Handset in the base for
10 seconds to allow it to reinitialize.
