Troubleshooting
• 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 telephone 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
protector) into a different location. If this doesn’t solve
the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther
apart from each other, or use a different surge protector.
• The layout of your home or office might be limiting
the operating range. Try moving the base to another
location, 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).
