Troubleshooting
My calls cut in and out while I'm using my cordless handset.
• Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT
phones can cause interference with your cordless phone. Try
installing your phone as far away as possible from these types of
electronic devices.
• Do not install this phone near a microwave oven or on the same
electrical outlet. You might experience decreased performance
while the microwave oven is operating.
• If you plug your phone in with a modem or surge protector, plug the
phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this
does not solve the problem, relocate your phone or modem farther
apart from one another, or use a different surge protector.
• Relocate your telephone base to a higher location. The phone
might have better reception when installed in a high area.
• If the other phones in your building are having the same problem,
contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
• Excessive background noise will cause a speakerphone to fade in
and out. Try controlling the background noise by turning off any
audio devices near the speakerphone. Also, try to avoid interrupting
the person at the other end of the conversation while they are
speaking. If background noise cannot be controlled, you should
stop speakerphone operation and return to normal handset mode.
• When using a speakerphone, controlling background noise in your
environment is essential. While you are listening to your party,
press MUTE to temporarily turn your microphone off. When it is
your turn to speak, remember to press MUTE again to turn the
microphone on.
