My telephone does not work at all.
Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly. For optimum daily performance, return
the handset to the telephone base after use.
Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and the wall jack.
Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for approximately 5 seconds, then plug
it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base to synchronize.
Charge the battery in the handset for up to  hours.
If the battery is completely depleted, charge the handset for at least 30 minutes before use.
Remove the battery and then install it again. If that still does not work, it may be necessary to
purchase a new battery.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working telephone. If
the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or telephone service.
Contact your telephone service provider.
I cannot dial out.
Try all the above suggestions.
Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the handset takes a second or two to
synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before
dialing.
If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or
telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
Eliminate any background noise. Mute the cordless handset before dialing, or dial from another
room in your home with less background noise.
If you have changed your telephone service to digital service from a cable company or a VoIP
service provider, the telephone line may need to be rewired to allow all existing telephone jacks
to work. Contact your service provider for more information.
The answering system does not answer after the correct number of rings.
Make sure the answering system is on. When the answering system is on, ANS ON should
display on the handset and the telephone base.
If toll saver is selected, the number of rings changes to two when there are new messages waiting.
If the memory is full or if the answering system is off, the answering system answers after 0 rings.
In some cases, the answering system is affected by the ringing system used by your telephone
service provider.
If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your answering system
answers before your voicemail answers. To determine how many rings activate your voicemail,
contact your telephone service provider.
If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting the fax
machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine documentation for information on
compatibility with answering systems.
