Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
No dial tone	Ensure the telephone line cord is securely connected to both the base unit and the wall jack. Check if the AC adapter is properly connected to the base unit and a working electrical outlet. Test with another phone to confirm the phone line is active.
Handset does not charge	Ensure the handset is correctly seated in the charging cradle. The CHARGE light should be on. Verify the AC adapter for the charger is plugged into a working outlet. Clean the charging contacts on both the handset and charger with a dry cloth. The battery pack may need to be replaced.
Poor sound quality or static	Move the handset closer to the base unit. Avoid placing the base unit near other electronic devices (e.g., microwaves, Wi-Fi routers) that may cause interference. Check for loose connections of the telephone line cord.
Answering system not recording messages	Ensure the answering system is turned ON. Check if the memory is full. Delete old messages to free up space. Adjust the number of rings before the answering system picks up.
