AT&T E5903B, E5921, E5902B user manual Cannot dial out

Appendix

Troubleshooting

I cannot dial out	• First try all the suggestions above.
	• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The
	cordless handset may take a second or two to find
	the telephone 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).
	• 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 televi-
	sion, radio or other appliances may cause the phone
	to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the
	background noise, first try muting the cordless hand-
	set before dialing, or dialing from another room in
	your home with less background noise.

My cordless handset isn’t performing normally

•Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug the unit into a different, working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

•Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. You might have moved out of range.

•Reset the telephone base. Unplug the unit’s electri- cal power. Wait for 15 seconds then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base to reset.

•Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away from these types of electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televi- sions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless phones.
