Troubleshooting
Other electronic products can cause interference with
your cordless telephone. Try installing your telephone
as far away as possible from electronic devices wire-
less routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular
telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, per-
sonal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless
telephones.
• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a
new line cord.
• 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.
• Other electronic products can cause interference to your
cordless telephone. Try installing your telephone as far
away as possible from the following electronic devices:
wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular
telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors,
televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances,
and other cordless telephones.
• Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as your
telephone. It is normal to experience static on your telephone
while the microwave oven is operating. Do not install this tel-
ephone in the same outlet or near a microwave oven.
If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge
protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protec-
tor) into a different location. If this solves the problem, re-
locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each
other, or use a different surge protector.
• If you have a headset plugged into the handset, try
unplugging it and firmly plugging it in again.
• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the
operating range. Trying moving the base to another loca-
tion, preferably a higher location for better reception.
Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and
plug in a corded telephone. If calls are still not clear, the
problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Contact
your local service company (charges may apply).
• Select channels four through 10 for your router (refer to
the user’s manual of your router for more information).
If the other telephones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service.
Contact the local telephone company (charges may apply).
Do you have DSL service? If yes, you need to have a DSL
filter installed at every telephone jack that has a tele-
phone connected to it. Contact your DSL service provider
for filter information.
