Check for a dial tone

Press on the handset or
the base. If you hear a dial tone, the
installation is successful.
If you do not hear a dial tone
• Make sure the installation
procedures are properly done.
• The handset may take a second
or two to find the telephone
base and produce a dial tone.
This is normal. Wait an extra
second before dialing.
• If the previous suggestions
do not work, disconnect the
telephone line cord from your
telephone and connect the
telephone line cord to another
telephone.
• If there is no dial tone on
that other telephone either,
your telephone line cord may
be defective. Install a new
telephone line cord.
If changing the telephone line cord
does not help, the wall jack (or
the wiring to this wall jack) may be
defective. Try using a different wall
jack in your home to connect your
IS8251, IS8251-2, IS8251-3, IS8251-4,
and IS8251-5 telephone, or contact
your telephone
(charges may apply).
