Troubleshooting
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 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 type (pulse dial or tone dial) for the service in
your area. See the Dial type section on page 12 to set the dial type.
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, rst try
muting the cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with
less background noise.
