  Christopher RobinsonAug 5, 2025
  If there's no dialing tone when you press a key on your Amplicomms Cordless Telephone, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check that the connection cord of the base station is properly plugged in, including the mains and the telephone line cord. Unplug and plug them back in to ensure a secure connection. Second, make sure the adapter cord is correctly plugged into the base station, removing and re-plugging both the base station plug and the 220V plug. Finally, the line might be busy because another handset is in use; in this case, use the original connection cord.

  If your Amplicomms Cordless Telephone displays 'Out Of Range', it could be due to two main reasons. Either the base station is out of range, or it is not connected to the mains. To solve this, try reducing the distance between the handset and the base station. Also, ensure that the base station is properly connected to the mains.

  Christine GibbsAug 29, 2025
  If you cannot operate the answering machine on your Amplicomms Cordless Telephone remotely, several factors could be the cause. You might be entering the wrong remote access code; if you've forgotten it, reset to the default settings. You may also be pressing the dial keys too quickly; press each key firmly. Also, the answering machine might be turned off; if so, turn it on. Finally, you might be using a pulse telephone; try again using a touch tone phone.
