• Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base.
It might be out of range.
• The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try
installing a new telephone line cord.

and connect a different telephone. If there is no dial tone
on the telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or

an incoming
call
• Make sure the ringer is on (pages 11-12).

are plugged in properly (page 7).
