possible.
Installing a Line Filter or DSL Filter
x A telephone line filter or DSL filter prevents services that use the phone line from causing interference on your phone. To get a
line filter, contact your service provider or look in an electronics store.
x Plug the filter into the telephone wall jack and plug the base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.
Liquid Damage
CAUTION: If the base is covered in liquid, disconnect the adapter and phone cord from the wall before touching
it.
If the liquid is only on the exterior housing of the base or handset, wipe it off and use as normal. If you can hear liquid inside the
housing:
1. Remove all compartment covers, and disconnect all cables and cords.
2. If liquid is leaking from any vent or hole, turn the phone so that vent faces down. If not, place the largest vent face down.
3. Let dry for at least 3 days. Check for liquid inside the phone before replacing compartment covers and reconnecting cords.
