Troubleshooting

Other electronic products can cause interference with your cordless telephone. Try installing your telephone as far away from these types of electronic devices as possible. These devices include: routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and cordless telephones.

There is noise or interference dur- ing a telephone conversation.

The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base.

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

My calls fade out or cut in and out when I am using the cordless handset.

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, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, and other cordless telephones.

If you have a headset plugged into the handset, try unplug- ging it and firmly plugging it in again.

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

If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protector) 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.
