TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your telephone, but if you do, these
suggestions might help. If you still have problems, check other phones on the same
line to see if they work properly. If they do and the problem does not seem to be with
your phone service, take your phone to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
