Solution
• This 984 telephone is not compatible with
any 843, 853, 854, 874, or 954 telephones
you may have previously installed.
Solution
• Make sure all plugs are connected properly.
Inspect the line cord connections at the
modular jack(s) and at the telephone. Also
inspect the coiled handset cord
connection at both ends.
• Make sure a line is selected.
• Make sure HOLD is not activated.
• If you do not hear a dial tone when you
press h, make sure the headset is
firmly connected at the jack.
Solution
• Make sure the Do not disturb (DND)
feature is not activated.
• Make sure the ringers are turned on.
• If there are several non-system phones
on the line that don't ring, disconnect some
of them. Having too many phones
connected can also result in low ringer
volume for non-system telephones.
• If the INTERCOM light flashes but you
don't hear a paging signal, make sure the
Do not disturb feature is not activated.
