Troubleshooting
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 CL82115/
CL82215/CL82315/CL82415/CL82465 telephone, or contact 
your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
I cannot dial out.
Try all the suggestions, as mentioned 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 
with less background noise.
If other phones in your home are having the same problem, 
contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
My cordless handset isn’t performing normally.
Make sure you plug the power cord securely into the telephone 
base. Plug the power adapter into a different working electrical 
outlet without a wall switch.
Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. You 
may have moved out of range.
Reset the telephone base. Unplug the 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 such as HAM radios and other DECT 
phones, can cause interference with your cordless phone. Try 
installing your phone as far away as possible from these types of 
electronic devices.
