Noise or Static On The Line

The most common cause of noise or
static on a cordless phone is
interference. Here are some
common household sources of
interference:
electrical appliances, especially

microwave ovens
computer equipment, especially

wireless LAN equipment and
DSL modems
radio-based wireless devices,

such as room monitors,
wireless controllers, or wireless
headphones or speakers
 large fluorescent light fixtures (especially if they give off a buzzing noise)
 other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems, intercom
systems, or broadband Internet service
Here are some hints for when the static is...
on 1 handset or in 1 location:
Check nearby for one of the common
-
interference sources.
Try moving the handset away from a
-
suspected source, or try moving the
suspected source so it's not between the
handset and the base.
Try moving closer to the base. There is
-
always more noise at the edges of the
base's range. If the handset displays an
Out of Range message, you need to
move closer to the base.

If you have a hearing aid equipped
with a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the
interaction between the hearing
aid and digital cordless phones can
cause noise in the handset. If you
have a T-coil hearing aid and you
have problems with noise on the
line, try turning on T-coil mode.
Open the menu. Select Handset
Setup, then select T-coil.
Using T-coil mode can
shorten the handset's talk
time; make sure to watch your
battery status and keep the
battery charged.
on all handsets or in all locations:
Check near the base for the
-
source of interference.
Try moving the base away from
-
a suspected source, or turn off
the source if possible.
If the base has an adjustable
-
antenna, try raising the antenna
so it stands straight up.
If you have any service that uses
-
the phone line, you might need
a filter (see below).
