does not work

• Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly
(page 7). For optimum daily performance, return the cord-
less handset to the telephone base after use.
• Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an
outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into
the telephone base and the modular wall jack.
• Unplug the telephone’s electrical power. Wait for approx-
imately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one
minute for the cordless handset and base to synchronize.
• Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least
16 hours.
• Remove and re-insert the battery. If that still does not work,
it may be necessary to purchase a new battery.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack
and plug in a working telephone. If this telephone does
not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the
local service. Call the local telephone company.
