Troubleshooting

Problem

Suggestion

I cannot dial out.

• First, try all the above suggestions.

 

• Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the cordless handset takes a second

 

or two to synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra

 

second before dialing.

 

• Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial type (pulse dial or tone dial) for the service in

 

your area. See Dial type on page 12 to set the dial type.

 

• If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring

 

or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

 

• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio, or other appliances may cause

 

the telephone not to 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.
