into the base unit and the telephone wall jack.

sure it is installed correctly.
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.

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

Operating Range
This cordless telephone operates within the
maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Even
so, this handset and base can communicate
over only a certain distance -- which can
vary with the locations of the base and
handset, the weather, and the construction
of your home or office. For best
perormance, keep the base antenna fully
upright.

the call.
If you move out of range during a phone
conversation, you might hear noise or
interference. To improve reception, move
closer to the base.

the hook”. To hang up properly, walk back
into range, periodically pressing PHONE
KEY.

YOUR PHONE.

company.
