Appendix I cannot dial out. • First, 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 before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dialing. • If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply). • Eliminate any background noise. Dial from another room in your home with less background noise. LOW BATTERY shows on the handset screen. • Place the handset in the telephone base for recharging. • Remove and install the battery again and use it until fully depleted, then recharge the handset in the telephone base 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 correctly. The CHARGE light on the handset should be on. • Remove and install the battery again, then charge for up to 16 hours. • If the handset is in the telephone base but the CHARGE light on the handset is not on, refer to The charge light is off on page 38. • If the battery is completely depleted, it can take up to 10 minutes to charge the handset before LOW BATTERY appears on the screen (page 5). • Purchase a new battery.
