IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY

If this telephone does not work prop-

erly, try the following suggestions

before seeking repair assistance.

Telephone Does Not Ring

Speakerphone Does Not Work

The speakerphone might not work

well is someone picks up an exten-

sion phone on the same line. The

speakerphone will come back on if

the handset of the other phone is

replaced.

• Make sure the RINGER switch is

set in the LO or HI position.

No Dial Tone

• If there are several other tele-

phones on the same line, try

disconnecting some of the other

telephones. Having too many

telephones connected can also

create problems such as low ringer

volume, or impaired sound quality

during calls.

• Make sure all plugs are connected

properly. Inspect the line cord con-

nections at the modular jack and at

the telephone. Also inspect the

coiled handset cord connection at

both ends.
