Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the telephone. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

- Cord Care: Avoid tangling or excessive pulling of the telephone and handset cords to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No dial tone | Telephone line not connected properly. | Check that the telephone line cord is securely plugged into both the phone base and the wall jack. |
| Cannot dial out | Incorrect dialing method. | Ensure you are rotating the dial fully to the stopper for each digit and allowing it to return before dialing the next. |
| No incoming ring | Ringer volume set to 'LOW' or 'OFF'. | Check the 'RINGER' switch on the underside of the phone and set it to 'HI'. |
| Poor sound quality | Loose handset connection or line interference. | Ensure the handset cord is firmly connected. Try connecting the phone to a different wall jack to rule out line issues. |
