Troubleshooting
I cannot get a dial tone.
Try all the suggestions above.
Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. You may have
moved out of range.
If the previous suggestions do not work, disconnect the telephone base
from the telephone jack and connect to a different phone. If there is no
dial tone on that phone either, the problem is in your wiring or telephone
service. Contact your telephone service provider.
Your line cord may be defective. Try installing a new line cord.
I cannot dial out.
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 with less background noise.
If other phones in your home are having the same problem, contact your
telephone service provider (charges may apply).
During power outage, I put a handset in the telephone base but the
system fails to power up.
Make sure the handset you placed in the telephone base has enough
charge to power up the system.
Try removing and re-installing the handset’s battery. Place the handset in
the telephone base again.
