Troubleshooting
My calls fade out or cut in and out when I am using the telephone.
•If you have a headset plugged into the telephone, try unplugging it and firmly plugging it in again.
•Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in another 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).
•If you are using the speakerphone when this problem occurs, eliminate any background noise. Noise from the television, radio, or other appliances may cause the speakerphone to cut in and out.
Try engaging the [mute] button when you are not speaking or eliminating the background noise.
•If you subscribe to DSL service, you need to have a DSL splitter installed. See Important information for DSL users section on page 6 in this manual.
•If you have DSL service, and you have more than three telephone sets, and you have installed microfilters, you may need to have a DSL splitter installed by your DSL service provider.
The sound quality of the • Unplug it and firmly plug it in again. headset is poor
I hear other calls when using the telephone.
•Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack. Plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company.
•Make sure you are using the round black cords that came with the phone. These cords help prevent crosstalk (hearing other calls).
