Q. I have no dial tone, what should I do?

A. Check to ensure there is no problem with your telephone equipment by taking the following steps:

  1. Make sure that all cords are plugged in correctly.
  2. If you are using a cordless phone, replace or charge the battery.
  3. If you have more than one phone, make sure that each phone’s receiver is on the hook.
    1. If none of them are off the hook, unplug every phone.
    2. Then plug each phone back into any wall jack one at a time.
    3. Check each phone for a dial tone as you go.
    4. The telephone set that causes the line to go dead is the one needing repair. Contact the retailer or manufacturer of the phone for assistance.

Q. Why do I hear static on my line?

A. If you are hearing static on your line, check to ensure there is no problem with your telephone equipment by taking the following steps:
