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 base before producing a dial tone. Wait an

 

 

extra second before dialing.

 

•

Makes 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 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.
