Troubleshooting Tips

No Dial Tone

• There may be too may extension phones connected to your line. Try
disconnecting an extension phone.
• See solution for ”NO DIAL TONE. ”
Incoming and Outgoing Voice Volume Low
• Are other phones off hook at same time? If so, this is normal
condition as volume drops when additional phones are used
at once.
