In case of difficulty
prob lem, the problem is in the telephone jack.
Contact your local telephone company (charg-
es may apply).
The telephone line cord might be malfunction-
ing. Try installing a new telephone line cord.
Re-install the battery pack and place the cord-
less handset in the telephone base.
Wait for the cordless handset to synchronize
with the telephone base. To be safe, allow up
to one minute for this to take place.
I cannot dial
out.
Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It
is normal if the cordless handset takes a sec-
ond or two to synchronize with the telephone
before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra
second before dialing.
Makes sure the telephone is set to the correct
dial mode (pulse dial or tone dial) for the ser-
vice in your area. Refer to the Setup section of
this user’s manual to set the dial mode.
If the other telephones in your home are hav-
ing the same problem, the problem is in the
wiring or local service. Contact your local tele-
phone 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.
