Check For A Dial Tone; Before Use; Set Date And Time - VTech 8251 User Manual

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 service provider
(charges may apply).
