handset.	•	Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as your telephone. It is normal to experience
		static on your telephone while the microwave oven is operating. Do not install this telephone
		in the same outlet or near a microwave oven.
	•	If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone (or
		modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this solves the problem, re-locate your
		telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector.
	• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the telephone
		base to another location, preferably a higher location for better reception.
	• Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in a corded telephone. If calls
		are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Contact your local
		service company (charges may apply).
	• If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring
		or local service. Contact the local telephone company (charges may apply).
	• Do you have DSL service? If yes, you need to have a DSL filter installed at every telephone jack
		that has a telephone connected to it. Contact your DSL service provider for filter information.
