TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your telephone, but if you do, the
following suggestions might help. If you still have problems, check other phones on
the same line to see if they work properly. If they do and the problem does not seem
to be with your phone service, take your phone to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.
