Troubleshooting
My calls fade
out or cut in
and out while
I'm using
my cordless
handset.
• If the other phones 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).
• 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 television
sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.
• Re-install the battery, and place cordless handset in the
telephone base. Wait for the cordless handset to re-
establish its connection with the telephone base. Allow
up to one minute for this to take place.
• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a
new line cord.
• Other electronic products can cause interference with
your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far
away from the following electronic devices as possible:
television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.
• 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 your phone is plugged in with a modem or surge
protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector)
into a different location. If this doesn't solve 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
phone will have better reception when not installed in a
low area.
• If the other phones 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).
