Troubleshooting
I get noise, static, or weak signals even when
I’m near the telephone base.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL
- digital subscriber line) through your telephone line,
you must install a DSL filter between the telephone
line cord and the telephone wall jack. The filter
prevents noise and caller ID problems as a result of
DSL interference. Contact your DSL service provider
for more information about DSL filters.
You may be able to improve the performance of your
cordless phone by installing your new telephone base
as far as possible from any other existing cordless
telephone system that may already be installed.
Other electronic products such as HAM radios and
other DECT phones can cause interference with your
cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away
as possible from these types of electronic devices.
Do not install this phone near a microwave oven or
on the same electrical outlet. You may experience
decreased performance while the microwave oven is
operating.
If you plug your phone in with a modem or a surge
protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector)
into a different location. If this does not solve the
problem, relocate your phone or modem farther apart
from one another, or use a different surge protector.
