Trouble Shooting

Static On Line

Your phone may be located near a touch lamp, microwave, refrig- erator or other household appli- ances. Try relocating your phone to another area.

A cordless phone on your line may cause static. Try disconnecting the cordless phone. This may eliminate the problem.

Extra devices attached to the tel- phone, such as cord detanglers, CID units and answering machines may cause static. Disconnecting the devices may eliminate the problem.

Speak directly into the handset trans- mitter in your normal tone of voice. Make sure the transmitter opening is clean and clear of obstructions.

There Is No Clock Display When The Telephone Is Hung Up

Clock is set by the network when a CID call is received. The clock can not be reset manually. In event that the phone is unplugged or a power failure occurs, you must wait for an incoming CID call to reset the clock.

Interference

A RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) filter can be placed on the line to help minimize or eliminate radio or CB transmissions. Try relocating the telephone to another area.
