The problem may be caused by interference:

 

 

Disconnect all possible sources of interference one at a time

 

to determine if one of these is causing the problem.

 

Possible sources are such things as other phones, fax

The problem could be caused by outside interference:

 

Disconnect Line 1 from dial tone at the network interface. If

 

this solves the problem, then the interference is coming from

an RF line filter, which will be sent to you free of charge.
