• Charge the battery pack in the cordless handset for
at least 16 hours. For optimum daily performance,
return the cordless handset to its base when not in
use.
• Reset the telephone base. Unplug the unit's electrical
power. Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug
it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless
handset and telephone base to reset.
• You may need to purchase a new battery pack,
please refer to page 4 of this user's manual.
• First try all the suggestions above.
• Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone
base. You might have moved out of range.
• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing
a new line cord.
• If the previous suggestions don't work, disconnect
the telephone base from the telephone jack and
connect to a different phone. If there is no dial tone
on that phone either, the problem is in your wiring or
local service. Contact your local telephone company.
