Troubleshooting
This chapter provides some general troubleshooting information to help you solve the problems
you might encounter when using your W56P IP DECT phone.
If you require additional information or assistance with your new phone, contact your system
administrator.
Base Issue
Why doesn’t the power indicator on the base station light up?
Plug the supplied power adapter to W56P, if the power indicator doesn’t light up, it should be a
hardware problem. Please contact your vendor or local distributor and send the problem
description for help. If you cannot get a support from them, please send a mail which includes
problem description, test result, your country and phone’s SN to Support@yealink.com.
Why doesn’t the network indicator on the base station light up slowly flash?
It means that the W56P cannot get an IP address. Try connecting the W56P to another switch
port, if the network indicator still slowly flashes, please try a reset.
