| I cannot dial out.. | • | Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The handset may take a second or two to find | 
 | |
| 
 | 
 | the base and produce a dial tone.. This is normal.. Wait an extra second before dialing.. | 
 | 
 | 
| 
 | • Make sure your phone is set to the correct dial mode for the type of service that you have (pulse | 
 | ||
| 
 | 
 | or touch tone).. Refer to the Installation section of this user’s manual to set the dial mode.. | 
 | 
 | 
| 
 | • | If the other phones in your home are having the issue, the problem is in your wiring or local | 
 | |
| 
 | 
 | service.. Contact your local telephone company.. | 
 | 
 | 
| 
 | • Eliminate any background noise.. Noise from a television, radio or other appliance may cause |

| 
 | 
 | the phone 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.. |

 | 
 | 
| on my handset.. | 
 | display.. Be sure only two handsets are in use at a time.. | 
 | 
 | 
| 
 | • Move the handset closer to the base.. You might have moved out of range.. |
