Panasonic Support FAQ
If there seems to be no power on going to the phones, check the outlet the phone system is plugged into. If the system is plugged into a battery backup/UPS, make sure it is turned on and that it is plugged into a working power outlet. Try to bypass the batter backup/UPS by plugging the phone system directly into the wall outlet. You may have a bad battery in the battery backup/UPS. To ensure the phone system is not at electrical risk, replace the battery backup/UPS as soon as possible.
If the phones and the phone system have power, try calling the telephone numbers that are connected to the phone system. If you get a busy signal or a service message from the service provider, contact your service provider. They can check the service remotely.
