If your Panasonic Telephone is not working, ensure the batteries are correctly installed. Fully charge the batteries. Check all connections. Unplug the base unit’s AC adaptor to reset the unit and turn off the handset; then reconnect the adaptor, turn on the handset, and try again. Also, the handset may not be registered to the base unit, so you may need to register the handset.
