PROBLEM

If you hear noise or interference when using the phone:

SOLUTION

You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.

Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base to another outlet.

The layout of your home or office may be limiting the operating range. Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an upper floor.

Using the handset near household appliances (microwaves, computers, televisions, stereos, etc.) can sometimes cause interference. Move away from appliances while using the handset.
