I cannot dial out.
Try all the above suggestions.
Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the handset takes a
second or two to synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial
tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.
If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in
the wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges
may apply).
Eliminate any background noise. Mute the cordless handset before dialing, or
dial from another room in your home with less background noise.
If you have changed your telephone service to digital service from a cable
company or a VoIP service provider, the telephone line may need to be rewired
to allow all existing telephone jacks to work. Contact your service provider for
more information.
Low battery shows on the handset screen.
Place the handset in the telephone base or charger for recharging.
Remove and install the battery again and use it until fully depleted, then charge
the handset in the telephone base or charger for up to 16 hours.
If the above measures do not correct the problem, replace the battery.
The battery does not charge in the handset or the handset battery
does not accept charge.
Make sure the handset is placed in the telephone base or charger correctly.
Remove and install the battery again, then charge for up to 16 hours.
If the battery is completely depleted, charge the handset battery for at least
30 minutes before use (page 5).
You may need to purchase a new battery.
The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call.
Make sure the handset ringer volume is not set to off (page 9).
Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in properly
(page 2).
The handset may be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer to the
telephone base.
There may be too many extension phones on the telephone line to allow all of
them to ring simultaneously. Unplug some of them.
If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in
the wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges
may apply).
