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 base 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 mode section of this user’s manual (page 12) 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

normally..

Reset the telephone base by unplugging the unit’s electrical power.. Wait for 15 seconds and plug

 

 

 

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