Remedy
•
Make sure the power cord is plugged in.
•
Make sure the telephone line cord is
plugged firmly into base unit and the
telephone wall jack.
• Make sure the batteries are properly
charged. If the BATT LOW LED is on,
the battery needs charging. If the
PHONE LED does not light when you
press ON/OFF, you must charge the
batteries.
•
If you recently installed a new battery
pack, make sure it is installed correctly.
•
First check all the suggestions above.
•
If you still don't hear a dial tone,
disconnect the base unit from the
telephone jack and connect a different
phone. If there is no dial tone on that
phone either, the problem is in your
wiring or local service. Call your local
telephone company.

momentarily to reset the security code.
Then press ON/OFF to get a line.
•
Household appliances plugged into the
same circuit as the base unit can
sometimes cause interference. Try
moving the appliance or the base unit
to another outlet.
