  • Page 36: Troubleshooting

    2400MHz cordless telephone interference — If there is a 2400MHz cordless telephone nearby, interference may occur. However, because the DX200 is a frequency-hopping system, this problem is unlikely. If it does occur, changing frequencies on the telephone may alleviate the problem. If not, move the phone as far as practical from the base station, or use another type phone.
