PROBLEM SOLUTION
1. No Dial tone • Check Cords to make sure they are inserted correctly.
• Does HOOK SWITCH extend fully when handset is
removed from cradle?

position.
3. You cannot be
heard by other party
• Check that handset coil cord is fully inserted at both
ends.

Problems
• Did you program number correctly?
• Did you follow the proper dialing sequence?
5. Incoming and
Outgoing voice
volume is too low
• Check that other phones are off hook at the same time. If
so, this is a normal condition as volume drops when
additional phones are used at once.
6. Phone does not ring • Is RINGER SELECT set to OFF position?
• Are you using too many phones on one line? The total
REN of all phones should not be greater than the
maximum REN for your calling area. (Usually maximum
REN is 5. See FCC Registration Information on back
cover.)
7. Tone Feedback
Flutter while dialing
in pulse mode
• This is normal as power is fluctuating with phone out-
pulsing.
8. Loss of Memory • Is battery installed correctly?
• Does battery need to be replaced?
