My telephone does not work at all.
Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly (page 3). For optimum daily
performance, return the handset to the telephone base or charger 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
telephone wall jack.
Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for approximately 15 seconds,
then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone
base to synchronize.
Charge the battery in the handset for up to 16 hours.
If the battery is completely depleted, it can take up to 10 minutes to charge the
handset before

(page 3).
Remove and reinsert the battery. If that still does not work, it may be necessary to
purchase a new battery.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working
telephone. If the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring
or the local service. Call your telephone service provider.
LOW BATTERY shows on screen.
Place the handset in the telephone base or charger for recharging.
Remove and reinstall the battery and use it until fully depleted, then recharge the
handset in the telephone base or charger for up to 16 hours.
If the above measures do not correct the problem, replace the battery.
