Troubleshooting
I cannot dial out. • First, try all the above suggestions.
•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.
•Check that all the telephones connected to the same tel- ephone line are hung up.
•Makes sure the telephone is set to the correct dial mode (pulse dial or tone dial) for the service in your area. Refer to the Handset settings section of this user’s manual (page 18) 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 back- ground noise.
•Make sure all the telephones connected to the telephone line are hung up.
