Yes, you can reset the BT8500 phone, but the context does not mention whether resetting allows you to set your own call control PIN. However, you can follow the instructions to set or enter your call control PIN separately through the menu options.

I cannot make external calls. While the call duration shows there is no connection to the person I **** calling.

The issue might be due to incorrect wiring in the BT socket. If the BT8500 works when connected to another BT socket but shows a "Line Cord Error" in the original socket, the wiring in the non-working socket may be faulty. Specifically, terminals 2 and 5 might be reversed or incorrectly connected. Checking and correcting the wiring in the socket should resolve the issue.
