Troubleshooting
•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 dial- ing, 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 telephone service provider (charges may apply).

•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 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.
