Troubleshooting

We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you
do, the following suggestions might help.

If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the
same line work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you
cannot find the problem, take the phone to your local RadioShack store
for assistance.

Problem

Possible Solutions

The phone does not work or 
works poorly.

• The phone line and handset cords might

not be securely connected. Reconnect
them.

• Batteries are weak or not installed. Install

or replace the batteries.

Volume drops or you hear 
unusual sounds.

Someone has picked up another phone on the 
same line. Hang up the other phone.

No dial tone.

The phone line and handset cords might not 
be securely connected. Reconnect them.

You have an incoming call, 
but do not receive any Caller 
ID information.

• Let the phone ring twice before you

answer, so it has time to record the Caller
ID information.

• The phone line and handset cords might

not be securely connected. Reconnect
them.

• Check with your phone company to con-

firm that your Caller ID service is active.

Display is blank.

Batteries are weak or not installed. Install or 
replace the batteries.
