Cleaning the Telephone

No Dial Tone

• Check Cable Connections: Ensure all telephone cables are securely connected to the phone and the main unit.
• Power Cycle: If possible, power cycle the NEC AspireWX main unit (consult your system administrator or contractor before doing so).
• Test Another Phone: If other phones on the system are working, the issue might be specific to this unit.

Buttons Not Responding
