•Excessive background noise will cause a speakerphone to fade in and out. Try controlling the background noise by turning off any audio devices near the speakerphone. Also, try to avoid interrupting the person at the other end of the conversation while the person is speaking. If background noise cannot be controlled, you should terminate speakerphone operation and return to normal handset mode.
I hear other calls while using my telephone.
•Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack, and plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or telephone service. Call your telephone service provider (charges may apply).

•Make sure your computer is powered on.
•Make sure your Internet connection is working properly.
•Make sure that the software is installed and running for your nontraditional telephone service.
•Make sure to plug your USB telephone adapter into a dedicated USB port on your computer. Do not plug into a multiple port USB hub (USB splitter) that is not powered.
•In a few rare instances, the USB port on your computer may not have enough power. In these instances, try using a USB hub with its own external power supply.
•If you are using a firewall, it may prevent access to your nontraditional telephone service. Contact your service provider for more information.
