The Phone Doesn't Work at All

.

Make sure the power cord is
plugged in.

Make sure the telephone line cord
is plugged firmly into the base unit
and the telephone wall jack.

Make sure the battery are
properly charged. If the handset
makes two beeps, the battery
need charging.

No Dial Tone.

First check all the suggestions
above.

If you still don't hear a dial tone,
disconnect the base unit from the
telephone jack and connect a
different phone. If there is no
dial tone on that phone either,
the problem is in your wiring or
local service. Call your local
telephone company.

In Case of Difficulty

You Get Noise, Static, or a Weak
Signal Even When  You're Near
the Base Unit.

Household appliances plugged into
the same circuit as the base unit
can sometimes cause interference.
Try moving the appliance or the
base unit to another outlet.

You Get Noise, Static, or a Weak
Signal When You're Away From
the Base Unit.

You may be out of range. Either
move closer to the base, or
relocate the base unit.

The layout of your home may
be limiting the range. Try
moving the base unit to the
second or third floor, or to some
other location.

The Handset Does Not Ring
When You Receive a Call.

Make sure the ringer is turned
on.

Make sure the telephone line
cord is plugged firmly into the
base unit and the telephone
jack. Make sure the power cord
is plugged in.

You may be too far from the
base unit.

You may have too many
extension phones on your
telephone line to allow all of
them to ring. Try unplugging
some of the other phones.

You Hear Other Calls While Using
Your Phone.

Disconnect your base unit from
the telephone jack, and plug in
a regular telephone. If you still
hear other calls, the problem is
probably in your wiring or local
service. Call your local
telephone company.

You Hear Noise in the Handset,
and None of the Keys or Buttons
Work.

Make sure the power cord is
plugged in.

Common Cure for Electronic
Equipment

If the unit does not seem to be
responding normally, then try
putting the handset in the cradle
to re-initialize the unit.  If it still does
not seem to respond, perform the
following steps (in the order listed):
1. Disconnect the power to the

base.

2. Disconnect the handset

battery.

3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Connect power to the base.
5. Re-install the handset battery.
6. Wait for the handset to re-

establish its link with the base.
To be safe, allow up to one
minute for this to take place.

In Case of Difficulty

You cannot hear recorded mes-
sages

Using the base volume control,
raise the volume to a comfort-
able listening level.
