Troubleshooting
•You may be able to improve the performance of your cordless phone by installing your new telephone base as far as possible from any other existing cordless telephone system that may already be installed.
•Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away from the following electronic devices as possible: television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.
•Do not install this phone near a microwave oven or on the same electrical outlet. You may experience decreased performance while the microwave oven is operating.

•Relocate your phone to a higher location. The phone will likely have 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).
