minute for the cordless handset and base to reset.

• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The cordless

 

 

handset may take a second or two to find the base and produce

 

a dial tone. This is normal. Wait an extra second before dialing.

 

• Make sure your phone is set to the correct dial mode for the

 

type of service that you have (pulse or touch tone). Refer to the

 

installation section of this user’s manual (page 19) to set the

 

dial mode.

 

• If the other phones in your home are having the same problem,

 

the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local

 

telephone company (charges may apply).

 

• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio

 

or other appliance may cause the phone 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.
