Troubleshooting
Problem Suggestion
I cannot dial out. • First, try all the a bove 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 telephon e base befor e producing a dial ton e. Wait an extra
second before dialing.
•
Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial typ e (pulse dial or tone dial) for the service in
your area. See the Dial type section o n 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 loc al telephone company (charges may apply).
• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio, or other appliances may cause
the telephone not to d ial out properly. If yo u cannot eliminate th e background noise, r st try
muting the cordless handset before di aling, or dialing from another room in your home wi th
less background noise.
