•Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the telephone base can cause inter- ference. Try moving the appliance or telephone base to another outlet.
•Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing your telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cel- lular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, wireless routers, and other cordless tel- ephones.
•Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as your telephone. It is normal to experience static on your tel- ephone while the microwave oven is operating. Do not install this telephone in the same outlet or near a micro- wave oven.
