Noise or Static onO The Line

The most common cause of noise or static on a cordless phone is interference. Here are some common household sources of interference:

electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens

computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL modems

radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers

large florescent light fixtures (especially if they give off a buzzing noise)

other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems, intercom systems, or broadband Internet service

Do you have a T-Coil hearing aid?

If you have a hearing aid equipped with a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the interaction between the hearing aid and digital cordless phones can cause noise in the handset. If you have a T-coil hearing aid and you have problems with noise on the line, try turning on T-coilmode. Open the menu. Select Handset Setup, then select T-coil.

Using T-coil mode can

shorten the handset's talk time; make sure to watch your battery status and keep the battery charged.

Installing a telephone line filter or DSL filter

Sometimes, broadband Internet services that use the telephone line can interfere with phones. One of these services−DSL−often causes static on telephones. A DSL filter or telephone line filter usually solves this problem. The technician who installed your DSL service might have left some filters for you; if not, call your DSL provider or look in any electronics store.
