Troubleshooting
The display shows NO LINE. I cannot get a dial tone.
• Try all the suggestions mentioned above.
• If the previous suggestions do not work, disconnect the
telephone line cord from your telephone and connect the
telephone line cord to another telephone.
• If there is no dial tone on that other telephone either, your
telephone line cord may be defective. Install a new telephone
line cord.
• If changing the telephone line cord does not help, the wall
jack (or the wiring to this wall jack) may be defective. Try
using a different wall jack in your home to connect your
TL86109 telephone, or contact your telephone service
provider (charges may apply).
I cannot dial out.
• Try all the suggestions mentioned above.
• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The cordless
handset might take a second or two to find the telephone base
and produce a dial tone. This is normal. Wait an extra second
before dialing.
• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio or
other appliances might cause the phone to not dial out properly.
If you cannot eliminate the background noise, try muting the
cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from another room
with less background noise.
• If other phones in your home are having the same problem,
contact your telephone service provider (charges might apply).
