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 don’t 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 in I cannot get a dial tone above.
•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 telephone service provider (charges may apply).
