Cannot call out. I pick up the handset, press "talk". The dial tone comes on and then clicks off. Then there is no response to the "talk" button again, to turn it off. This is not a new phone, and was being used by someone else, but it got packed up when no longer needed. I have tried the trouble shooting guide, but there is nothing there. I have hit all kinds of buttons. I just don't know where to begin.

Contact is bad and/or the electronics are no longer any good.

If I understand you correctly, when you leave the handset in the cradle and press a line, you can hear the dial tone. But, if you lift the handset and then select a line you don't hear anything through the headset. If this is correct, I suspect the handset is damaged, the cord is damaged, or if you're lucky, the clips may not be plugged all the way in on both sides. If you have another phone that is the same, you can switch handsets to test this theory.

1. Press & hold End and # at the same time until you see the System Reset menu.

2. If you still have the base the handset is registered to, select Deregister HS, then select the handset you want to reset. If you don't have that base anymore, select Base Unavailable.

3. To confirm, select Yes. The handset displays "Handset not registered"


Now you want to register the phone again.

1. Place the handset in the base; the display should say Handset
Registering.

2. Wait until the display says Registration Complete (about 30
seconds), then pick up the handset and press Talk/flash.
You should now have a dial tone

The battery in the handset may be faulty/flat. If it does not charge up then replace the battery.

The handset for this unit registers automatically to the base. The main base sync with the handset but it does not respond. The handset that is not responding has a problem and should to be replaced. You can pick one up on eBay for a few bucks.

unplug the the power ,,leave for 30 seconds should reset

Put the document you want to send into the transmit tray, pick up the handset, listen for a dial tone, and then dial the # on the keypad..
It should ring just like any other phone. When the machine on the other end picks up and you hear the tones, press the start button.
Anything other than fax tones on the other end, it is not your faxes fault.

Try setting it on pulse, then hear it click when you push the number, if it works switch it back and try agian
