• If your phone is plugged in with a modem or surge protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge
protector) into a different location. If this solves 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 get 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.)
I hear other calls while
using my phone.
Disconnect your base unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a regular telephone. If you
still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your local
telephone company.
I hear interference in
the handset, and none
of the keys or buttons
work.
Make sure the power cord is plugged in.
