If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (Digital
Subscriber Line - DSL) through your telephone line, you
must install a DSL filter between the telephone base
and the telephone wall jack (see page 5). The filter will
prevent noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL
interference. Please contact your DSL service provider
for more information about DSL filters.
• You may be able to improve the performance of your
cordless phone by installing your new telephone base
as far as possible from any other existing cordless
telephone system that may already be installed.
• Other electronic products can cause interference to
your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far
away from the following electronic devices as possible:
television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.
• 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, re-locate your phone or modem farther apart
from one another, or use a different surge protector.
• Relocate your phone to a higher location. The phone will
likely have better reception when not installed in a low
area.
• If the other phones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service.
Contact your local telephone company (charges may
apply).
