| tone. | 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 | 
| 
 | machines, modems, or such things as radios or computers | 
| 
 | in extremely close proximity. Note: All  | 
| 
 | telephones are incompatible with this system, and MUST be | 
| 
 | removed. | 
| 
 | 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 | 
| 
 | outside over Line 1. If this is the case, call TMC to request | 
| 
 | an RF line filter, which will be sent to you free of charge. | 
| 
 | The problem may be caused by DSL microfilters. Note | 
| 
 | that DSL microfilters are not compatible with this system. All | 
| 
 | DSL microfilters installed behind these telephones MUST be | 
| 
 | removed in order for the phones to operate properly. If you | 
| 
 | have DSL service, please contact your DSL provider for an | 
| 
 | alternative method of connecting your DSL without the | 
| 
 | microfilters. |
