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 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).

Calls are cut | • | If you are on a call during an AC power failure, (using | |
off |
| the backup base batteries,) and AC power returns, the | |
|
|
| call will be ended. Detach the AC power cord before |
|
|
| making or answering calls to avoid this problem. Be |
|
|
| sure to plug it back in when power is restored. |
