Troubleshooting
My calls cut in and out while I’m using my cordless handset.
•Other electronic products can cause interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away as possible from electronic devices such as wireless routers, 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 you plug your phone in with a modem or surge protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesn’t solve the problem, relocate your phone or modem farther apart from one another, or use a different surge protector.
•Relocate your telephone base to a higher location. The phone may have better reception when installed in a high area.
•If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service. 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 speakerphone, controlling background noise in your environment is essential. While you are listening to your party press DELETE/MUTE to temporarily turn your microphone off. When it is your turn to speak, remember to press DELETE/MUTE to turn the microphone on.
