Troubleshooting

Problem

Suggestion

I get noise, static, or

• Other electronic products can cause interference with your cordless phone.. Try installing your

weak signal even when

 

phone as far away as possible from these types of electronic devices such as: wireless routers,

I’m near the base..

 

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 oven is operating.. 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 likely get better reception when not

 

 

installed in a low area..

 

• If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in your wiring

 

 

or local service.. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply..)

I hear other calls while

Disconnect your base unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a regular telephone.. If you

using my phone..

 

still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service.. Call your local

 

 

telephone company..

I hear interference in

• Make sure the power cord is plugged in..

the handset, and none

 

 

of the keys or buttons

 

 

work..
