phone line, you might need a filter
(see below).
Installing a line lter or DSL lter
Sometimes, broadband Internet services that use the telephone line
static on telephones. A DSL filter or telephone line filter usually solves
this problem. The technician who installed your DSL service might
have left some filters for you; if not, call your DSL provider or look in
any electronics store.
Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and plug your phone’s
base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.
Do you use a T-Coil hearing aid?
If you have a hearing aid equipped with a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the -
interaction between the hearing aid and digital cordless phones can
cause noise in the handset. If you have a T-coil hearing aid and you have
problems with noise on the line, try turning on
T-coil
mode. Open the
menu. Select
Handset Setup,
then select
T-coil
.
Using T-coil mode can shorten the handset’s talk time; make sure to -
watch the battery status and keep the battery charged.
