Troubleshooting

 

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.

 

Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a

 

 

television, 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

 

 

handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in

 

 

your home with less background noise.

 

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).

wall switch.

 

Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone

 

 

base. You might have moved out of range.

 

Reset the telephone base. Unplug the electrical 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: television sets, VCRs, or other cordless

 

 

telephones.
