Troubleshooting
I cannot dial
out.
My cordless
handset isn't
performing
normally.
The handset
registration is
unsuccessful.
• First try all the suggestions above.
• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The
cordless handset may 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 may cause the phone 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.
• If the other phones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service.
Contact your local telephone company (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.
• Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base.
You might have moved out of range.
• Reset the telephone base. Unplug the unit's electrical
power. Wait for 15 seconds then plug it back in.
Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and
telephone base to reset.
• Other electronic products can cause interference to
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.
Follow the steps below to re-register the handset.
1. Make sure the handset is out of the telephone base or
charger and shows NOT REGISTERED before you begin
registration.
2. Press and hold
seconds (until the red IN USE light on the telephone
base is on) and then release the button.
3. Place the unregistered handset into telephone base or
charger.
Refer to the Handset registration section on page 73
for details.
