If you receive a failure notifi cation, please refer to the 
“Troubleshooting Guide” on page 37 of this manual to 
determine the cause.
This testing feature is very useful - allowing you to con-
fi rm that the system has coverage from all parts of your 
home. Simply walk to the various parts of your home and 
push the Battery Check / System Check button until you 
hear the 4 beeps and then the dial tone. You can then 
release the button, and you will hear the voice prompt 
“All Systems are OK”, “Pendant and Base out of Range”, 
or “System Cannot Detect Dial Tone”. 
NOTE: If your telephone service offers voice mail and 
the voice mail system uses a Stutter Dial Tone to notify 
you of a message, the system test may fail – “cannot 
detect dial tone” if a system test is made with a message 
waiting. This is normal as the System is “listening” for 
a conventional dial tone. Check your messages so the 
dial tone returns to a solid tone and test again. In the 
event of an emergency, the System will dial the emergen-
cy number regardless of a standard or stutter dial tone.
 Caution - To ensure proper operation, this equipment 
must be installed according to the these instructions. 
We highly recommend that you perform this System 
Check after set-up and installation and at least twice a 
month to confi rm that your system is working properly 
and that the pendant and base unit are in good commu-
nication and that the base unit can get a dial tone. It is 
also recommended to perform this system check after a 
lightning storm that could damage the base unit which is 
plugged into the phone line.
