Possible Solutions

• Increase the earpiece volume (see page
16).

(microwave ovens, TVs, etc.) or wireless
devices (baby monitors, WiFi equipment,
etc.). Move the handset or base away
from the interference source.
• Try to adjust the audio tone. During a
call, press TONE to cycle through the three
audio tone options: Low Tone, Natural

phone line, add a DSL or telephone line
filter (see page 34).
