Problem Suggestion
My telephone does not
work at all.
Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly (see page 3 and 28). For optimum
daily performance, return the cordless handset to the telephone base after use.
Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a wall
switch.
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged rmly into the telephone base and the modular
wall jack.
Unplug the unit’s electrical power and remove the battery from the handset. Wait for 15
seconds then plug in the battery and plug in the power. Allow up to one minute for the cordless
handset and base to synchronize.
Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours.
Remove and re-insert the battery. If that still does not work, it may be necessary to purchase
a new battery pack.
Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in a working telephone. If
this telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the local service. Call
the local telephone company.

Place the handset in the telephone base for recharging.
Remove and re-install the battery and use it normally until fully discharged, then recharge
the handset on the telephone base for 16 hours.
If the above measures do not correct the problem, the battery may need to be replaced.
