Installing a line filter or DSL filter

Sometimes, broadband Internet services that use the telephone line can interfere with phones. One of these services−DSL−often causes static on telephones. A DSL filter or telephone line filter usually solves this problem. The technician who installed your DSL service might have left some filters for you; if not, call your DSL provider or look in any electronics store.

Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and plug your phone’s base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.

Do you use a T-Coil hearing aid?

-- If you have a hearing aid equipped with a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the interaction between the hearing aid and digital cordless phones can cause noise in the handset. If you have a T-coil hearing aid and you have

problems with noise on the line, try turning on T-coilmode. Open the menu. Select Handset Setup, then select T-coil.

-- Using T-coil mode can shorten the handset’s talk time; make sure to watch the battery status and keep the battery charged.
