Noise or stac on the line
Interference is the most common cause of noise or static on a cordless
phone. Here are some common sources of interference:
electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens
computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL
modems
radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless
controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers
fluorescent light fixtures (especially if they give off a buzzing
noise)
other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems,
intercom systems, or broadband Internet service
If static is on 1 handset or in
1 location:
If static is on all handsets or in all
locations:
Check nearby for one of
the common interference
sources.
Try moving the handset away
from a suspected source, or
try moving the suspected
source so it’s not between the
handset and the base.
There is always more noise at
the edges of the base’s range.
If an Out of Range message
displays, try moving closer to
the base.

Check near the base for the source
of interference.
Try moving the base away from a
suspected source, or turn off the
source if possible.
If the base has an adjustable
antenna, try raising the antenna so it
stands straight up.
If you have any service that uses the
phone line, you might need a filter
(see below).
