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 Set dal mode section of this user’s manual (page 13) 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 to not 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.
