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 second or two

 

to synchronize with the telephone before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before

 

dialing.

 

• 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.
