number you called:

Troubleshooting Tips
No dial tone.
Press and release the hook switch. Check the hook switch: Does
it fully extend when the handset is lifted from the cradle?
Phone doesn’t ring.
Make sure RINGER switch (located on the handset) is set to loud
or low.
Are you using too many phones on one line? (The total REN
of all phones on the same line should not be greater than the
maximum REN for your calling area. See Equipment Approval
Information).
Other party cannot hear you.
Make sure phone cord is securely plugged in.
Make sure extension phones are on the hook at the same time
you’re using the phone. It is normal for the volume to drop when
additional extension phones are used at the same time.
Phone “howls” when handset is placed near the base and handset
volume level is too high.
This is normal feedback due to handset volume level being set
to maximum.

Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because
