I cannot dial out. 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.
Eliminate any background
noise. Mute the handset
before dialing, or dial
from another room in
your home with less
background noise.

base from the telephone
wall jack. Plug in a

If you subscribe to high-
speed Internet service
(DSL - digital subscriber
line) through your
telephone line, you must
install a DSL filter between
the telephone line cord
and the telephone wall
jack. The filter prevents
noise and caller ID
problems caused by DSL
interference. Contact your
DSL service provider for
more information about
DSL filters.
Appliances or other
cordless telephones
plugged into the
same circuit as the
telephone base can
cause interference. Try
moving the appliance or
telephone base to another
outlet.
The location of your
telephone base can
impact the performance
of your cordless phone.
For better reception,
install the telephone base
in a centralized location
within your home or
office, away from walls
or other obstructions.
In many environments,
elevating the telephone
base improves overall
performance.
