numbers I need to
dial.

Suggestion
• Although the call log entries you receive are 10 digits, (the area code plus the 7-digit number,)
in some areas, you may need to dial only the seven digits, or a 1 plus the seven digits, or a
1 plus the area code plus the seven digits. You can change the number of digits that you dial
from the call log.
While reviewing the call log, press # repeatedly to display these dialing options for local and
•
long distance numbers before dialing or saving the telephone number.
• The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base.
• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Use a working electrical
outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch.
• Reset your telephone by unplugging the power adapter from the telephone base. Disconnect
the battery from the cordless handset. Wait for 15 seconds, then plug in the power adapter and
re-install the battery. Place the handset in the telephone base and allow up to one minute for
the handset and telephone base to synchronize.
• Other electronic products may prevent your handset and telephone base from communicating
with each other. Try installing your telephone base as far away from these electronic devices as
possible: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, intercoms, room
monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless telephones.
