My phone 
doesn’t work 
at all
•  Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.
•  Make  sure  that  the  battery  pack  connector  is  securely 
plugged into the cordless handset.
•   Make sure the telephone line cord is securely and firmly 
plugged into the telephone base and the telephone wall 
jack.
•   Charge  the  battery  pack  in  the  cordless  handset  for  at 
least  16  hours.  For  optimum  daily  performance,  return 
the cordless handset to its base when not in use.
•   Reset  the  telephone  base.  Unplug  the  unit’s  electrical 
power.  Wait  for  approximately  15  seconds, then  plug  it 
back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset 
and telephone base to reset.
•  You  may  need  to  purchase  a  new  battery  pack,  please 
refer to page 7 of this user’s manual.
I cannot get a 
dial tone
•  First try all the suggestions above.
•  Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. 
You might have moved out of range.
•  Your  line  cord might  be malfunctioning.  Try  installing  a 
new line cord.
•   If  the  previous  suggestions  don’t  work,  disconnect  the 
telephone base from the telephone jack and connect to 
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.
I cannot dial 
out
• First try all the suggestions above.
•  Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The cordless 
handset  may  take a  second  or  two  to  find the  telephone 
base and produce a dial tone. This is normal. Wait an extra 
second before dialing.
