Troubleshooting
• 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 can cause interference to
your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far
away from the following electronic devices as possible:
television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.
• 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 your phone is plugged in with a modem or a surge
protector, plug the phone (or modem�surge protector)
into a different location. If this doesn't solve the
problem, re-locate your phone or modem farther apart
from one another, or use a different surge protector.
• Relocate your phone to a higher location. The phone
will likely have better reception when installed in a high
area.
• If the other phones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service.
Contact your local telephone company (charges may
apply).
• You may hear interference if your cellular phone is too
close to the telephone base during a CELLULAR call.
Make sure that your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone is
between one to 12 feet away from the telephone base
in order to maintain a reliable connection between your
Bluetooth cell phone, telephone base, and cell tower.

speakerphone, place the handset on a flat surface with
the dial pad facing up.
