If you’ve checked the above and still 
cannot make or receive calls, your 
phone doesn’t ring or ‘Line cord 
error’ is displayed on your handset, 
please try the following tests in 
order:
•  If the line cord isn’t connected to 
the telephone master socket (usually 
the one nearest to the front door), 
test it in the master socket without 
anyadapters,lters,splittersor
extension cables. If the problem 
clears there may be a problem with 
your internal wiring between the 
telephone sockets it may be that the 
adapter,lter,splitterorthe
extension cable the phone was 
connected to is faulty.
•  Try connecting another known 
working telephone to the telephone 
line socket. If you cannot make or 
receive calls on another known 
working telephone either, please 
contact your service provider for the 
line to be checked.  
•  Try testing your telephone on a 
telephonelineinadierentproperty
(e.g a neighbour’s or a friend’s line). 
This will also help verify whether the 
phone or line is at fault.
