• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television,
radio or other appliances may cause the phone to not
dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background
noise, first try muting the cordless handset before dial-

background noise.
• If the other phones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service.
Contact your telephone service provider (charges may
apply).
• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the
telephone base. Plug the unit into a different, working
electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

telephone base to reset.

your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far
away from these types of electronic devices as possible:
television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.
