Make a test call. If the dial won't stop when you dial, check the Tone/pulse switch: if it’s on tone, change it to pulse, and vice versa. Try your test call again.
If there is static or noise on the line, see the section on Solving Problems.

If there's static on the line
DSL broadband Internet service can cause static on telephones, but a DSL lter usually solves any problems. To get a DSL lter, call your DSL provider or look in any electronics store.
To install the lter, plug the DSL lter into the wall jack and then plug your phone into the lter. Make a test call to see if the noise is gone.
What Else Do I Need to Know?

Part 68 information
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identier in the format US: 6NYTE##BXXXXXX (where XXXXXX stands for a specic model number). If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
An applicable Universal Service Order Codes (USOC) certication for the jacks used in this equipment is provided (i.e., RJ11C) in the packaging with each piece of approved terminal equipment.

See installation instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed ve (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone provider. The REN for this product is part of the product identier that has the format US:6NYTE##BXXXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 18 is a REN of 1.8).
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to le a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could aect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modications to maintain uninterrupted service.
If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.
Follow instructions for repairing, if any (e.g. battery replacement section); otherwise do not substitute or repair any parts of the device except as specied in this manual.

Connection to party line service is subject to state taris. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information. This equipment is hearing aid compatible.
NOTICE: According to telephone company reports, AC electrical surges, typically resulting from lightning strikes, are very destructive to telephone equipment connected to AC power sources. To minimize damage from these types of surges, a surge arrestor is recommended.
