I cannot dial out.  | • First, try all the above suggestions.  | 
  | • Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the 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 mode on page 10 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 handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less  | 
  | background noise.  |
