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 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 Dial mode on page 9 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 handset
before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less background noise.
