such as cellularphone charger,TV,refrigerator,vacuum cleaner,fluorescentlighting
or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and
are too distracting, please check around your home to see what appliances may be
causing the problem. Inaddition, werecommend that the base not be plugged into
a circuitthat also powersa major appliance because of the potential for interference.

More Than One Phone
Each telephone device that you connect draws power from the phone line. We refer
to the power drawn as the device's Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). The REN is
shown at the bottom part of your telephone. If you are using more than one
phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than 3,
your phones may not ring.
