Troubleshooting

Problem	Suggestion

I cannot dial out..	• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The handset may take a second or two to find
	the base and produce a dial tone.. This is normal.. Wait an extra second before dialing..
	• Make sure your phone is set to the correct dial mode for the type of service that you have
	(pulse or touchtone).. Refer to the Installation section of this user’s manual to set the dial mode..
	• If the other phones in your home are having the issue, the problem is in your wiring or local
	service.. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply..)
	• Eliminate any background noise.. Noise from a television, radio or other appliance may cause
	the phone to not 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..

My handset beeps	• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the base.. Plug the unit into a different,
five times and isn’t	working outlet not controlled by a wall switch..
performing normally..	• Move the handset closer to the base.. You might have moved out of range..
	• If the handset is in its base and the charging light does not come on, refer to Charge Light is
	Off in this troubleshooting guide..
	• Reset the base.. Unplug the unit’s electrical power.. Wait for 15 seconds then plug it back in..
	Allow up to one minute for the handset and base to reset..
	• Other electronic products can cause interference with your cordless phone.. Try installing your
	phone as far away from these types of electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios,
	radio towers, pager towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal
	computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless phones..
