My telephone 

does not work 

at all.

Make sure the telephone 

base is installed properly, 

and battery is installed 

and charged correctly. 

For optimum daily 

performance, return the 

handset to the telephone 

base after use.

The display 

shows 

No line

I cannot hear 

the dial tone.

Disconnect the 

telephone line cord from 

your telephone and 

connect it to another 

telephone. If there is 

no dial tone on that 

other telephone either, 

then the telephone line 

cord may be defective. 

Try installing a new 

telephone line cord.
If changing telephone 

line cord does not 

help, the wall jack (or 

the wiring to this wall 

jack) may be defective. 

Contact your telephone 

service provider.

You may be using a new 

cable or VoIP service, 

the existing telephone 

jacks in your home may 

no longer work. Contact 

your service provider for 

solutions.

I cannot dial 

out.

Make sure there is a dial 

tone before dialing. It is 

normal if the handset 

takes a second or two 

to synchronize with the 

telephone base before 

producing a dial tone. 

Wait an extra second 

before dialing.
Eliminate any 

background noise. 

Mute the handset 

before dialing, or dial 

from another room in 

your home with less 

background noise.

The display 

shows 

To

alternately. The 

handset does 

not work at all.

The handset is 

deregistered from the 

telephone base. 
Place the handset in 

the telephone base 

to register it back. 

The handset shows 

Registered

 and you 

hear a beep when the 

registration process 

completes. This process 

takes about 90 seconds 

to complete.

The display 

shows 

Low 

battery

.

Place the handset in 

the telephone base or 

charger for charging.

The battery 

does not 

charge in the 

handset or the 

handset battery 

does not 

accept charge.

Make sure the handset is 

placed in the telephone 

base or charger correctly.
If the battery is 

completely depleted, 

charge the battery for at 

least 30 minutes before 

use.

You may need to 

purchase a new battery.

The telephone 

does not ring 

when there is 

an incoming 

call.

Make sure the ringer 

volume is not set to off.
The handset may be too 

far from the telephone 

base. Move it closer to 

the telephone base.

My handset 

beeps and is 

not performing 

normally.

Move the handset closer 

to the telephone base. It 

may be out of range.
