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 batteries are properly charged. If you get a LOW BATTERY message
or indication, the batteries need charging.
No dial tone
First try 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. Contact your local telephone company.
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
another position.
The handset does not ring when you receive a call
Make sure you have the ringer activated. Refer to the section(s) on ringer
selection in this User’s Manual.
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.
The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the
base to another location, preferably on an upper floor.
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.
