This phone was made when most phone companies were still using non touchstone systems. When you dial you can hear it simulate an older rotary dial phone. This was how the earliest touch button phones worked. I am not sure the phone company''s systems are still compatible with the rotary systems. Mine does the same thing when dialing out, but receives a call perfectly.

I have the same phone but it does not require any power adapter, just the phone line. Mine does have a plug for headphones. If you plug in the phone line and push the on/off button it should work. If it does not work there might be something wrong with the phone.

Just for some information, I get a dial tone, the red light is lit on vader's chest and I can receive calls and speak and hear clearly when it rings and I answer.
