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 Dial mode 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.

Try installing your telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, and other cordless telephones.
