Troubleshooting

Problem

Suggestion

 

 

 

 

 

 

I cannot dial out.

• First, try all the above suggestions.

 

 

 

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

 

 

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

 

 

before dialing.

 

 

 

• Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial mode (pulse dial or tone dial) for the service in

 

 

your area. Refer to the Dial type section of this user’s manual (page 11) to set the dial mode.

 

 

 

• If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring

 

 

or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

 

 

 

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

 

 

the telephone not to dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, first try

 

 

muting the cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with

 

 

less background noise.

 

 

 

 

 

My cordless handset

• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug the telephone

 

beeps and is not

base into a different working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

 

 

performing normally.

• Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. It may be out of range.

 

 

 

• Reset the telephone base by unplugging the electrical power to the base. Wait for 15 seconds

 

 

and plug it back in again. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and the telephone

 

 

base to synchronize.

 

 

 

• 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.
