TROUBLESHOOTING
Static On Line – Interference From Household Appliances
Your Clarity phone may be located near a touch lamp, microwave or refrigerator which may cause interference. Relocating your phone to another area may elimi- nate the problem.
A cordless phone on your phone line may also cause static. Try disconnecting your cordless phone for several days. This may eliminate the problem.
Disconnect any extra devices which may be attached to the phone. Extra devices may include cord detangler’s, caller ID units, and answering machines.
Interference From Malfunctioning, Frayed Or Poorly
Connected Telephone Cords
Check your phone cords and connections. Try interchanging cords with another phone to see if the problem is eliminated. Replace any defective equipment.
Feedback Occurs When Handset Is Set Down
Avoid setting receiver on a hard surface or attach a foam receiver pad to earpiece of phone.You can also lay the receiver on its side. This will eliminate feedback also.
A Person On The Other End Cannot HearYou
Too many phones or phone devices on the line may effect your phone’s transmis- sion. As a guideline, more than five (5) phones or phone devices may overload the phone line. Disconnect one (1) or two (2) of the devices to see if that eliminates the problem. If not, contact your local phone company for load guidelines.
You may not be speaking directly into the transmitter. Always speak directly into the mouthpiece in your normal tone of voice.
The C1000 is Compatible With Digital PBX Systems
If a standard, single line phone works, your C1000 phone should also work.
• Clarity Phones Are Not Compatible With Key Systems Or AT&T PBX Systems
These units have a large electronic box controlling many phones as one unit. These types of units may be found in office buildings and some retirement homes, nursing homes and condos.
