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 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 type 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 to not 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. |

normally. | • Reset the telephone base by unplugging the unit’s electrical power. Wait for 15 seconds and |
| |
| plug it back in again. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and the telephone base |
| to synchronize. |
| • Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing |
| your telephone as far away from these electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, |
| radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal |
| computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless telephones. |
