Check for dial tone
Press  . If you hear a dial tone, the 
installation is successful.
If you do not hear a dial tone
•  Make sure the installation 
procedures are properly done.
•  The 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.
•  If the previous suggestions do not 
work, disconnect the telephone 
line cord from your telephone and 
connect the telephone line cord to 
another telephone.
•  If there is no dial tone on that other 
telephone either, your telephone 
line cord may be defective. Install a 
new telephone line cord.
•  If changing the telephone line 
cord does not help, the wall jack 
(or the wiring to this wall jack) may 
be defective. Try using a different 
wall jack in your home to connect 
your VS112, VS112-2, VS112-3, VS112-
4, VS112-17, VS112-27, VS112-37, 
VS112-47 telephone, or contact your 
telephone service provider (charges 
may apply).
