TROUBLESHOOTING

We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, the follow-
ing suggestions might help.
Problem
The phone does not work or
works poorly.
Memory does not hold pro-
grammed numbers.
The party on the phone can-
not hear you, but you can hear
them.
The telephone's volume level
drops or it begins to make
strange sounds.
If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line work
properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the problem, take
your phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
