  | |
  |

  | 
  | your telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers,  |

  | 
  | 
cordless 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,   | 
  | |
  | 
  | 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  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | telephone 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.  |
