background noise, first try muting the cordless hand-

 

set before dialing, or dialing from another room in your

Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the telephone base can cause inter- ference. Try moving the appliance or telephone base to another outlet.

Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing your telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cel- lular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, wireless routers, and other cordless tel- ephones.

Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as your telephone. It is normal to experience static on your tel- ephone while the microwave oven is operating. Do not install this telephone in the same outlet or near a micro- wave oven.

If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protec- tor) into a different location. If this solves the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector.

The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Trying moving the base to another loca- tion, preferably a higher location for better reception.

Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in a corded telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Contact your local service company (charges may apply).
