cause nterference. Try movng the applances or telephone base to another outlet.

as far away as possble from the followng electronc devces: wreless routers, rados, rado
towers, pager towers, ntercoms, room montors, televsons, VCRs, personal computers, ktchen
applances, and other cordless telephones.
