The Phone Doesn't Work at All.
Make sure the power cord is
plugged in.
Make sure the telephone line cord
is plugged firmly into the base unit
and the telephone wall jack.
Make sure the battery are
properly charged. If the handset
makes two beeps, the battery
need charging.
No Dial Tone.
First check all the suggestions
above.
If you still don't hear a dial tone,
disconnect the base unit from the
telephone jack and connect a
different phone. If there is no dial
tone on that phone either, the
problem is in your wiring or local
service. Call your local telephone
company.
In Case of Difficulty
You Get Noise, Static, or a Weak
Signal Even When You're Near the
Base Unit.
Household appliances plugged into
the same circuit as the base unit can
sometimes cause interference. Try
moving the appliance or the base unit
to another outlet.
You Get Noise, Static, or a Weak
Signal When You're Away From
the Base Unit.
You may be out of range. Either
move closer to the base, or
relocate the base unit.
The layout of your home may be
limiting the range. Try moving the
base unit to the second or third
floor, or to some other location.
The Handset Does Not Ring When
You Receive a Call.
Make sure the ringer is turned on.
Make sure the telephone line cord
is plugged firmly into the base unit
and the telephone jack. Make sure
the power cord is plugged in.
You may be too far from the base
unit.
You may have too many extension
phones on your telephone line to
allow all of them to ring. Try
unplugging some of the other
phones.

You Hear Other Calls While Using
Your Phone.
Disconnect your base unit from
the telephone jack, and plug in a
regular telephone. If you still hear
other calls, the problem is
probably in your wiring or local
service. Call your local telephone
company.
You Hear Noise in the Handset,
and None of the Keys or Buttons
Work.
Make sure the power cord is
plugged in.
Common Cure for Electronic
Equipment
If the unit does not seem to be
responding normally, then try putting
the handset in the cradle to re-
initialize the unit. If it still does not
seem to respond, perform the
following steps (in the order listed):
1. Disconnect the power to the
base.
2. Disconnect the handset battery.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Connect power to the base.
5. Re-install the handset battery.
6. Wait for the handset to re-
establish its link with the base. To
be safe, allow up to one minute
for this to take place.
