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 handset takes a secon d or two
to synchronize with the telephone b ase before produc ing a dial to ne. 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 Dial mode on page 10 to set the dial typ e.
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 fro m a television, radio, or other appliances may
cause the telephone not to dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the bac kground noise,
rst try muting the handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less
background noise.
