• Test a working phone at the phone jack. If another phone
has the same problem, the problem is the phone jack.
Contact your local telephone company (charges may
apply).
• Other electronic products can cause interference with
your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away
as possible from electronic devices like wireless routers,
radios, radio towers, pager towers, cell phones, intercoms,
room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen
appliances and other cordless phones.
• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new
line cord.
• Re-install the battery pack, and place cordless handset in
the telephonebase.
• Wait for the cordless handset to re-establish its connection
with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for this to
take place.
• Other electronic products can cause interference with
your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away
from the following 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 oven is operating. Do not install this phone in
the same outlet or near the microwave oven.
• If your phone is plugged in with a modem or surge pro-
tector, 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 telephone base to a higher location. The
telephone will have better reception when not installed in a
low area.
• If the other telephones in your home are having the
same problem, the problem is in your wiring or local ser-
vice. Contact your local telephone company (charges may
apply).
