•Other electronic products can cause interference with your telephone base. Try installing your telephone base as far away from the following electronic devices as possible: television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.
•Do not install this telephone base near a microwave oven or on the same electrical outlet. You might experience decreased performance while the microwave oven is operating.
•If you plug your telephone base in with a modem or surge protector, plug the telephone base (or modem/ surge protector) into a different location. If this does not solve the problem, relocate your telephone base or modem farther apart from one another, or use a different surge protector.
•Relocate your telephone base to a higher location. The telephone base might have better reception when installed in a high area.
•If the other telephones in your building are having the same problem, contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
•Excessive background noise will cause a speakerphone to fade in and out. Try controlling the background noise by turning off any audio devices near the speakerphone. Also, try to avoid interrupting the person at the other end of the conversation while they are speaking. If background noise cannot be controlled, you should stop speakerphone operation and return to normal handset mode.
•When using a telephone base speakerphone, controlling background noise in your environment is essential. While you are listening to your party, press MUTE to temporarily turn your microphone off. When it is your turn to speak, remember to press MUTE again to turn the microphone on.
