Cannot hear dial tone when pressing hands free. there is no feature button

The processor is locked up in unit and that is why you can't hear it, if you unplug the unit from the wall for 30 Min, that will fix the problem.

First, does another phone get a dial tone at the jack in question? (I prefer an old corded phone for this test since it is unlikely to have some of the problems of a cordless.) Try a new phone cord between the base and the jack. If there is no dial tone, try the test phone at other jacks. If there is no dial tone at any jack with either phone, find where your telephone service comes in and open the service box. If you are lucky and have a fairly new connection, the service box will have RJ-11 jacks. Plug your test phone into the jack and check for dial tone. Otherwise you will need the phone company to do this test. If there is no dial tone at the service box, your phone company will fix the problem for you for free.

If your test phone works:
Make sure that the base is plugged into a working outlet (no tripped circuit breaker, turned off power strip). Next check that the handsets are registered with the base. To register the handset, press the Find HS button on the base (below the in use indicator) for 4 seconds, then press # on the handset. (Our cordless phones once lost their registration during an extended power outage.) You can force deregistration by pressing and holding Find HS for 10 seconds. The In Use light should come on and flash. Then release the Find HS button and then press and release it again while the In Use light is blinking. You may need to try unplugging the base after pressing Flash/Talk and then Off/Clear before deregistering the handsets. The register the handsets.

You can Mute the microphone on the handset with the Mute button. To silence the ringer, press Menu/Select when the handset is not in use. Use the up/down arrow keys to select Ringers then press Menu/Select. Then press Menu/Select to choose Ringer Volume. Use the up/down arrows to change the volume and then press Menu/Select to confirm and save the setting. This should not change the ability to hear the dial tone.

If your test phone works at the service connection but nowhere else, then you have a wiring problem inside. Check exposed wires if you have them. Your phone company will offer to fix the issue for a fee. If the problem is at one jack, open the faceplate and check for loose wires. Some faceplates use a keystone with a punch-down tool to secure the wires. Others just wrap the wire around a screw for each pin.

If the handsets are registered and the base has power, then the cordless phone has problems. If it is under warranty, have it fixed. Otherwise, replace it; they aren't made to be user serviced.

I hope this helps.

There is a speaker test you can do. Press the feature button then on the dial pad press 805 followed by the # key or the next key until you see speaker test in the display. Press the test key or the hold button to start the test. You should hear a page tone at maximum volume. Press any button to end the test, the volume will return to its previous level.

The phone is mute by pressing the handsfree/mute button(bottom left button). sometimes the button labels do not match the feature that is programmed for the button. Press feature * 0 and any button to see what feature is programmed on the button.

Your HP all-in-one provides three levels for adjusting the ring and speaker volume. The ring volume is the volume of the phone rings. The speaker volume is the level of everything else, such as the dial tones, fax tones, and button press beeps. The default setting is Soft.
1 Press Setup.
2 Press 4, and then press 8.
This displays the Basic Fax Setup menu and then selects Ring and Beep Volume.
3 Press to select one of the options: Soft, Loud, or Off.
Note If you select Off, you will not hear a dial tone, fax tones, or incoming ring
tones.
4 Press OK.

might want to check the handset volume .....

In this case this machine doesnt have an exact way to increase the Dial Tone Volume...... We can try clearing NV RAM on the Printer........ Unplug the Power Supply from the printer....... Press and hold the Stop/Clear button on the Printer and Plug in the Power Supply while holding the Stop/Clear button it should say clearing on the screen at that point u can go ahead and release the Stop/Clear button.......... Now the Printer will ask for the Date Time and Country Language......... Set everything up...... Now hear the Dial tone.......... It should work Fine......... Good Luck...........

First make sure that the fax button has been pushed and is llit...

The 2820 should have a handset. In order to use manual transmission (when you get to hear all the beeps and whistles) you will need to load the document then pick up the handset. then dial the number, when you hear the recieving fax tone then hit the start button.

The 2820 should also have a hook hold button pressing this will allow you to hear the dial tone and the numbers you dial along with the receiving fax tone. If you dont hear anything when you press this button then you may want to use the volume buttons to increase the volume.

Also remember that if you have not picked up the handset or pressed he hook/hold button the unit will use automatic mode, which is to say that all you will do is load the document, dial the number, and then press the start button.
