The phone doesn't work at all
• Make sure the Power Cord is plugged in.

wall jack.
• Make sure the batteries are properly charged. If you get a BATTERY LOW message or
indication, the battery needs charging.
No dial tone
• First try 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. Contact your local telephone company.
