SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to use the handset for the Microsoft Cordless Phone System, the buttons on the handset may not respond. Although you may hear a dial tone, you may be unable to access your messages, use the speed dial features, or place a phone call.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the handset is not synchronized with the Base Station.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:


 * 1) Shut down and turn off the computer.
 * 2) Unplug the power adapter from the back of the Base Station.

NOTE: Make sure the light on the front of the Base Station is not lit.
 * 1) Wait for 15 seconds, and then plug the power cord back into the Base Station.
 * 2) Resynchronize the handset with the Base Station.

For information about how to do this, see the instructions on page 9 in the User's Guide.
 * 1) Restart the computer.
