•Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is nor- mal 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 Handset settings 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 serv- ice. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).
