There is interference during a telephone conversation.
My calls fade out when I am using the cordless handset.
• The handset might be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone
base.
• If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line -
DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between
the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents
noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact
your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
• Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit
as the telephone base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance
or telephone base to another outlet.
• Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless
telephone. Install your telephone as far away as possible from the
following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers,
pager towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room
monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances,
and other cordless telephones.
• If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug
the telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If
this doesn’t solve the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem
farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector.
• The location of your telephone base can impact the performance of
your cordless phone. For better reception, install the telephone base
in a centralized location within your home or office, away from walls or
other obstructions. In many environments, elevating the telephone base
improves overall performance.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in
a corded telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in
the wiring or local service. Contact your local service company (charges
might apply).
• If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the
problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact the local telephone
company (charges might apply).
I hear other calls when using the telephone.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack. Plug in a
different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably
in the wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company.
I hear noise on the cordless handset and the keys do not work.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged in securely.
