work at all.
• Make sure the power adaptor is plugged in.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged rmly into the
base unit and the telephone wall jack.
• Charge the battery in the handset for 10-12 hours. For
optimum daily performance, return the handset to its base
unit when not in use.
• Reset the base unit. Unplug the electrical power. Wait for
15 seconds then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for
the handset and base unit to reset.

I can not get a dial
tone.
• Try all the suggestions above.
• Move the handset closer to the base unit. You might have
moved out of range.
• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new
line cord.
• If the previous suggestions do not work, disconnect the
telephone base from the telephone jack and connect a
different telephone. If there is no dial tone on that telephone
either, the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact
your local telephone company.
I cannot dial out. • Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal for
handset to take a second or two to nd the base unit and
produce a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.
• If the other telephones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service.
Contact your local telephone company.

radio or other appliance may cause the telephone not to dial
out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise,
rst try muting the handset before dialing, or dialing from
another room in your home with less background noise.

hold a charge.
