Troubleshooting
I cannot get a dial
tone.
First try all the suggestions above.
Move the cordless handset closer to the
telephone base. You might have moved out
of range.
If the previous suggestions do not work,
disconnect the telephone base from the
telephone jack and connect to a different
phone. If there is no dial tone on that phone
either, the problem is in your wiring or local
service. Contact your telephone service
provider.
Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try
installing a new line cord.

I cannot dial out. First try all the suggestions above.
Make sure you have a dial tone before
dialing. The cordless handset might 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 might
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 with
less background noise.
If the other phones in your building are
having the same problem, contact your
telephone service provider (charges might
apply).
