Symptom: There is no dial tone.

Corrective Action:

If it has been over 15 minutes since you set up the phone and you still
do not hear a dial tone:
► Verify that the device obtained an IP address by pressing the

Setup (

) button. Select 9 Network, press the select button,

and scroll down to 2 Current IP. If the display does not display an
IP address, the device did not get an IP address. Contact your
Internet Service Provider.

► Verify that your broadband connection is functioning properly by

attempting to connect to a Web site from a PC on the same
network.

Symptom: I hear a fast busy signal when I try to make a call.

Corrective Action:

► Make sure you are dialing according to the Dial Plan assigned

to your account. (The Dial Plan was assigned when the
account was created.) For example, if you have a U.S. Dial
Plan, you should dial in the U.S. format:

1 + area code + phone number

NOTE

: If the “1” prefix is omitted, the call will not go through.

► Verify that your broadband connection is functioning properly

by attempting to connect to a Web site from a PC on the same

) button. Select 9 Network, press the select

button, and scroll down to 2 Current IP. If the display does not
display an IP address, the device did not get an IP address.
Contact your Internet Service Provider.
