I cannot dial out. | • First, try all the above suggestions. |
| • 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 base before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second |
| before dialing. |
| • Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial type (pulse dial or tone dial) for the service in |
| your area. See Dial mode on page 10 to set the dial type. |
| • 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 handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less |
| background noise. |
