Cause & Solution
L The telephone line cord is connected to the [EXT] jack on the unit. Connect
to the [LINE] jack (page 4) (KX-FT932 only).
L If you use a splitter to connect the unit, remove the splitter and connect the
unit to the wall jack directly. If the unit operates properly, check the splitter.
L Disconnect the unit from the telephone line and connect a known working
telephone. If the working telephone operates properly, contact our service
personnel to have the unit repaired. If the working telephone does not
operate properly, contact your telephone company.
L The power cord or telephone line cord is not connected. Check the
connections.
