Troubleshooting

Check that all the telephones connected to the same telephone line are hung up.

Make sure to set the dial mode to the correct setting (pulse dialing or tone dialing) for the service in your area (see Dial mode on page 14).

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 background noise, first try muting the cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less background noise.

If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in your wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
