• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.

• Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. You might have moved out
of range.
• If the previous suggestions don't work, disconnect the telephone base from the
telephone wall jack and connect to a different telephone. If there is no dial tone on
that telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or telephone service. Contact
your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
• Your telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone
line cord.
I cannot dial out.
• First try all the suggestions in the item I cannot get a dial tone on this page.
