If you hear noise or other interference during your conversation, you can manually select a clearer channel by pressing and releasing the CH button on the handset to switch to another spare channel. Your call will not be interrupted.

NOTE:

You must be in usable range to change channels. If you press the CH button when you are close to being out of range, you may lose the call. If this occurs, place the handset back into the base for a few seconds to reset the security code and then make the call again.

Place the handset on the base and then replug the AC adaptor (see Troubleshooting).
