Setup

1. Unpack the Telephone: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean the telephone, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemicals, as these may damage the surface.
• Storage: If storing the telephone for an extended period, disconnect it from the telephone line and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Jacob Jensen T-1 telephone, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Dial Tone:
  • Ensure the telephone line cord is securely connected to both the telephone and the wall jack.
  • Check if other telephones on the same line are working. If not, there might be an issue with your telephone service.
  • Verify the tone/pulse dialing switch is set correctly for your service type.
• Cannot Make or Receive Calls:
  • Confirm the telephone line connection is secure.
  • If you can make calls but not receive them, or vice-versa, ensure the handset is properly seated in the cradle when not in use.
  • Test with another telephone if available to determine if the issue is with the T-1 unit or the telephone line.
• Poor Call Quality (Static, Low Volume):
  • Check the telephone line cord for any damage.
  • Ensure the volume settings are adjusted appropriately.
  • Interference from other electronic devices can sometimes affect call quality. Try moving the phone or other devices.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact your retailer or a qualified service technician.
