Troubleshooting
•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 might experience decreased performance while the microwave oven is operating.
•If you plug your phone in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this does not solve the problem,
•Relocate your phone to a higher location. The phone might have better reception in a high area.
•If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
I experience poor sound quality when using the speakerphone.
•For increased sound quality while using the handset speakerphone, place the handset on a flat surface with the dial pad facing up.
•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 they are speaking. If background noise cannot be controlled, you should stop speakerphone operation and return to normal handset mode.
•When using a speakerphone, controlling background noise in your environment is essential. While you are listening to your party, press MUTE to temporarily turn your microphone off. When it is your turn to speak, remember to press MUTE again to turn the microphone on.
I hear other calls while using my phone.
•Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack, and plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, call your telephone service provider.
