Troubleshooting
I have accidentally set my cordless handset/telephone base LCD
language to Spanish or French, and I don't know how to change it
back to English.
Press MENU, then enter the code
•
I get noise, static, or weak signals even when I'm near the
telephone base.
• If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber
line) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the
telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise
and caller ID problems as a result of DSL interference. Contact your DSL
service provider for more information about DSL filters.
• You may be able to improve the performance of your cordless phone by
installing your new telephone base as far as possible from any other existing
cordless telephone system that may already be installed.
• 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 may experience decreased performance while the microwave
oven is operating.
• If you plug your phone in with a modem or a 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 phone to a higher location. The phone may have better
reception in a high area.
• If other phones in your home are having the same problem, contact your
telephone service provider (charges may apply).
I experience poor sound quality when using the handset
speakerphone.
• For increased sound quality while using the handset speakerphone, place
the handset on a flat surface with the dialing keys facing up.
