Big Button 200 telephone has ceased working, no sound on lifting the handset

Short summary:

  1. Check for physical damage: Inspect the phone and its cables for any signs of physical damage, such as frayed wires or loose connections. Ensure that all cables are securely connected.
  2. Replace the batteries: If your phone uses batteries, switch them out with fresh ones to eliminate the possibility of a power issue.
  3. Unplug the phone: Disconnect the phone from the power source by unplugging it from the socket. This will allow for a complete power cycle.
  4. Clean the buttons: Carefully clean the buttons on the phone using a soft, dry cloth. Make sure to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may be causing the buttons to stick down.
  5. Reconnect the phone: Plug the phone back into the socket to restore power. Ensure that all connections are secure.
  6. Test the phone: Pick up the receiver and check if there are lights and a dial tone. Try making a test call to verify if the phone is working properly.
