My calls fade or cut in	• Press the CHAN button while on a call until the interference has been eliminated..
and out while I’m using	• Other electronic products can cause interference with your cordless phone.. Try installing your
my handset..	phone as far away from these types of electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios,
	radio towers, pager towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal
	computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless phones

•Microwaves operate on the same frequency as your phone.. It is normal to experience static on your phone while the microwave is running.. Do not install this phone in the same outlet or near the microwave..

•If your phone is plugged in with a modem or surge protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location.. If this solves the problem, re-locate your phone or modem farther apart from one another, or use a different surge protector..

•Relocate your phone to a higher location.. The phone will get better reception not installed in a low area..

•If the other phones in your home are having the issue, the problem is in your wiring or local service.. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply..)
