  Make sure the base is plugged into a working outlet.
  Make sure the telephone line cord is connected to the 

base and the wall jack.

•  Disconnect the base from the wall jack and connect 

another phone to the same jack. If there is no dial 

tone in the second phone, the problem might be your 

wiring or local service.

closer to the base.

•  Make sure the battery is properly charged (12 hours).
•  Make sure the battery pack installed correctly.
