charged. If the BATT LOW LED is on,
the battery needs charging. If the

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.

to another outlet.
