Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The 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 handset before dialing,
or dialing from another room in your home with less background noise.
f
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a
working telephone. If the other phones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in your wiring or telephone service. Contact your
telephone service provider (charges may apply).

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.

If your phone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the
phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesn’t
solve the problem, relocate your phone or modem farther apart from one
another, or use a different surge protector.

Relocate your phone to a higher location. The phone may have better
reception when installed in a high area.

Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a
