|
|
I get noise, static, | • Other cordless telephones and 802.11 wireless routers used for home computer networks both use |
| |
or weak signal even | internal radios to communicate.. The radios may interfere with one another.. You can improve the |
| |
when I’m near the | performance of your cordless telephones and your router by: |
|
|
a. positioning your new telephone as far away as possible from any other existing cordless |
|
| |
telephone base.. |
|
| |
| telephone system already installed in your home to avoid the two systems interfering with each |
| |
| other.. |
|
|
| b. positioning your telephone base as far as possible from your router, computer or any other |
|
|
| computer devices.. |
|
|
| c. selecting channels 4 through 10 for your router (refer to your router’s user manual for more |
|
|
| information).. |
|
|
| • Other electronic products can cause interference with your cordless telephone.. Try installing your |
| |
| telephone as far away from these types of electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, |
| |
| radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal |
| |
| computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless telephones.. |
|
|
| • Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as your telephone.. It is normal to experience static |
| |
| on your telephone while the microwave oven is in operation.. Do not install this telephone in the same |
| |
| outlet or near the microwave oven.. |
|
|
| • If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge |
| |
| protector) into a different location.. If this solves the problem, |
| |
| farther apart from one another, or use a different surge protector.. |
|
|
| • Relocate your telephone to a higher location.. The telephone will likely have better reception when |
| |
| installed in a high area.. |
|
|
| • If the other telephones 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 telephone base from the telephone jack, and plug in a regular telephone.. If |
| |
using my telephone.. | you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service.. Call your local |
| |
| telephone company.. |
