Troubleshooting
I get noise, | • | If you subscribe to DSL service and if you hear noise |
static, or weak |
| during conversations and/or your caller ID features |
signal even |
| are not functioning properly, install a DSL filter to the |
when I’m near |
| telephone line between the telephone base and the |
the telephone |
| telephone line jack. Contact your DSL provider to obtain |
base |
| a DSL filter. |
| • | 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. |
| • | If your phone is plugged in with a modem or a surge |
|
| protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector) |
|
| into a different location. If this solves the problem, re- |
|
| locate your phone or modem farther apart from one |
|
| another, or use a different surge protector. |
| • | 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). |
