I cannot get a dial tone.
First try all the suggestions above. Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. You might have moved out of range. If the previous suggestions dont 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 local service. Contact your local telephone company. Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new line cord.
I cannot dial out. 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). My cordless handset isnt performing normally. 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 units 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. Ensure that the telephone base is powered up. SEARCHING FOR BASE Place the cordless handset in the telephone base for displays on my one minute to allow the cordless handset and base to cordless handset. resynchronize. Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. You might have moved out of range. Reset the telephone base. Unplug the units 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 with 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. The batteries will not hold a charge. If the cordless handset is in the telephone base or charger and the charge light does not come on, refer to The charge light is off in this Troubleshooting guide. harge the battery in the cordless handset for at least C 16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to the telephone base or charger when not in use. You may need to purchase a new battery. Please refer to Battery installation & charging, page 8, in this users manual. I get noise, static, or weak signals even when Im near the telephone base. If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (Digital Subscriber Line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack (see page 6). The filter will prevent noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters. You may be able to improve the performance of your cordless phone by installing your new telephone base as far as possible from any other existing cordless telephone system that may already be installed. Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away from the following electronic devices as possible: television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones. Do not install this phone near a microwave oven or on the same electrical outlet. You may experience decreased performance while the microwave oven is operating. f your phone is plugged in with a modem or a surge I protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesn't solve the problem, re-locate your phone or modem farther apart from one another, or use a different surge protector.

Relocate your phone to a higher location. The phone will likely have better reception when installed in a high area. 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). You may hear interference if your cellular phone is too close to the telephone base during a CELLULAR call. Make sure that your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone is between one to 12 feet away from the telephone base in order to maintain a reliable connection between your Bluetooth cell phone, telephone base, and cell tower. I experience poor sound quality when using the speakerphone. I hear other calls while using my phone. For increased sound quality while using the speakerphone, place the handset on a flat surface with the dial pad facing up.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack, and plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service.
