4.Why do I sometimes have difficulty making a connection even though I’m close to the base? There are several possible causes for this condi - tion. Please try the following solutions to see where your problem lies.

First, make sure the base unit power adapter is connected to a working AC outlet. Make sure that you are within range of the base unit when pressing the TALK button. If this works, then you were trying to access the base from too great a distance. Other cordless phones in your house could be causing interference. Two or more cordless phones may interfere with each other’s security codes. If you have two or more cordless phones in your house please disconnect all but the phone which is giving you the Out of Range signal. You can then reset the security codes by using the following procedure.

To reset the security code, remove the handset from the base. Remove the power cord from the base for 30 seconds. Replace the power cord to the base and replace the handset, making sure the charge light comes on. Wait another 30 sec- onds and the security code should be reset. Try the phone after resetting the security code–it should work fine. Your other cordless phones can still be used but they should be mo ved further apart or you may experience this problem again.

5.Why do I have static on my cordless phone? Your cordless phone works as a miniature radio transmitter and receiver. As such,it will pick up stray signals caused by other nearby appliances which emit radio signals and thus become a source of interference.

Some sources in a home that may cause noise and interference on a cordless phone are:

•other cordless phones

•fluorescent fixtures

•home appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, microwave ovens, home computers and baby monitors

In order to eliminate some of this interference it may be necessary to relocate the base unit of the cordless phone to a different location in your house. This solves two problems. First, you are fur- ther from the source of interference and secondly the power adapter for the cordless phone will b e plugged into an outlet, which most likely is on a different line than the appliance which is causing the interference.

If the noise persists after relocating the base, move closer to the base unit when talking on the phone. If the noise disappears, then it is most like- ly local interference being generated by a source outside your home, or a source inside your home strong enough to blanket your entire house such as a baby monitor. If you find that the noise and interference are equally strong throughout your house, your cordless phone may require service.
