Troubleshooting
I cannot dial out. | • | First, try all suggestions in There is no dial tone on |
|
| page 52. |
| • | Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It |
|
| is normal if the telephone takes a second or two |
|
| before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second |
|
| before dialing. |
| • | Check that all the telephones connected to the same |
|
| telephone line are hung up. |
| • Make sure to set the DIAL TYPE to the correct | |
|
| setting (pulse dialing or tone dialing) for the service |
|
| in your area (see Feature summary on page 15). |
| • | If any of your other telephones are having the same |
|
| problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service. |
|
| Contact your telephone service provider (charges |
|
| may apply). |
| • | If you are using the speakerphone, eliminate any |
|
| background noise. Noise from a television, radio, |
|
| or other appliances might cause the telephone to |
|
| not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the |
|
| background noise, first try muting the telephone |
|
| before dialing, or dialing from another room in your |
|
| home with less background noise. |

The telephone does | • | Make sure the ringer is on (see Ringer volume on |
not ring when there |
| page 14). |
is an incoming call. | • | Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter |
| ||
|
| are plugged in properly (see Telephone installation |
|
| on page 7). |
| • | There might be too many extension telephones |
|
| on the telephone line to allow all of them to ring |
|
| simultaneously. Try unplugging one telephone at a |
|
| time until the telephones start ringing. |
| • | Test a working telephone at the same telephone |
|
| jack. If another telephone has the same problem, |
|
| the problem is in the telephone jack. Contact your |
|
| telephone service provider (charges may apply). |
| • | The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try |
|
| installing a new telephone line cord. |
