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 batteries are prop-
erly charged. If the Low Battery in-
dicator is on, the battery needs
charging. If the IN USE and PHONE
indicators do not light when you
press PHONE, you must charge the
batteries.
If you recently installed a new bat-
tery pack, make sure it is installed
correctly.
NO DIAL TONE.
First check all the suggestions
above.
If you still don’t hear a dial tone, dis-
connect the base unit from the tele-
phone 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.

iting the range. Try moving the base
unit to the second or third floor, or to
some other location.
