Troubleshooting
I cannot dial out.
First, try all the above sugg estions.
Make sure there is a dial tone before di aling. It is normal if the handset takes a
second or two to synchronize w ith the telephone before produci ng a dial tone. Wait
an extra second before diali ng.
If the other telephones in your hom e are having the same problem, the probl em is in
the wiring or local serv ice. Contact your local telephon e company (charges may apply).
Eliminate any background noise. Mute t he cordless handset before dialin g, or dial
from another room in your home wit h less background noise.
My handset beeps and is not p erforming normally.
Make sure the power cord is securel y plugged into the telephone base. Plug t he
telephone base into a differ ent working electrical outlet n ot controlled by a wall switch.
Move the handset closer to the tel ephone base. It might be out of range.
Reset the telephone base by unpl ugging the electrical power to th e base. Wait for 15
seconds and plug it back in ag ain. Allow up to one minute for the cordles s handset
and the telephone base to sync hronize.

your telephone as far away from these ele ctronic devices as possible: wir eless

If you subscribe to high-s peed Internet service (digital sub scriber line - DSL) through
your telephone lines, you must ins tall a DSL lter between the telephone ba se and
the telephone wall jack. The  lter prevents noise and caller ID problems c aused by
DSL interference. Contact yo ur DSL service provider for more info rmation about
DSL lters.
