A:AnswerNo.
You cannot place a call from a handset charging on the base station.
Use the base station keys to make a call via the built-in speaker -or- use another handset.
A:AnswerIt should turn on automatically the only thing you should set up is the voice message if you have one. I would look at the manual for trouble shooting and if that doesn't work see if there is a customer service number unfortunately for trouble shooting or online chatting.
