Tip 5 of 6

If you have connected the corded telephone to a phone jack that has not been used before, or that has not been used recently, there may be problems with this jack that you are not aware of. You can connect a different telephone to the jack for confirmation that it is working. Use a telephone jack that you know is in proper working order.
