Troubleshooting

Problem

Suggestion

 

 

I cannot dial out.

• Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the handset takes a second or two

 

to synchronize with the telephone before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before

• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio, or other appliances may cause

• Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing

 

your telephone as far away from these electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios,

 

radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal

 

computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless telephones.
