I cannot dial out.. | • | First, try all the above 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 telephone base before producing a dial tone.. Wait an extra |
|
| second before dialing.. |
| • Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial mode (pulse dial or tone dial) for the service | |
|
| in your area.. Refer to the Dial mode section of this user’s manual (page 12) to set the dial |
|
| mode.. |
| • 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 |
