Verify Power

1. Unplug the phone from power, wait 5 seconds and plug it back in.
2. Check the power source.
   1. Is the power cable plugged into the wall?
   2. Check the connection between the power cable and the power cube, this can become loose. (Note, this is located between the phone and the wall)
   3. Is the power cable plug securely into the back of the phone?

Verify Ethernet Cables

1. Check the Ethernet connection. Cable configuration should be data jack to phone to computer.
   1. Is the cable plugged securely into the wall jack?
   2. Is the cable plugged securely into the network port (3 box symbol) on the phone? The cable should lead from the wall port directly to the phone.
   3. Is the cable plugged securely into the computer? The cable should lead from the PC port (1 box symbol) on the phone directly to the computer.
   4. Are any of the cable connections loose or poorly fitted? The cable should not be jammed into a jack but it also should not be wiggly. Old cables are a common issue. If you can hold the cable a “certain way” in the jack and the Ethernet reconnects this is an indicator of a bad cable. If this is a problem, please replace the cable.

Verify Handset Cord

1. 1. Is the handset cord securely plugged into the handset and back of the phone?
