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. |
