ꢂoise or Staꢁc on the Line
Interference is the most common cause of noise or static on a cordless
phone. Here are some common 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
fluorescent light fixtures (especially if giving off a buzzing noise)
other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems,
intercom systems, or broadband Internet service
If static is on 1 handset or in 1
location:
If static is on all handsets or in all
locations:
- Check nearby for one of the
common interference sources.
- Check near the base for the
source of interference.
- 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.
- There is always more noise at
the edges of the base's range.
If an Out of Range message
displays, try moving closer to the
base.
- 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).
Installing a Line Filter or DSL Filter
Sometimes, broadband Internet services that use the telephone line
can interfere with phones. One of these services−DSL−often causes
static on telephones. A DSL filter or telephone line filter usually solves
this problem. The technician who installed your DSL service might
have left some filters for you; if not, call your DSL provider or look in
any electronics store.
22
Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and plug your phone’s
base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.
Liquid Damage
Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone.
If the exterior housing of the handset or base is exposed to moisture
or liquid, wipe off the liquid, and use as normal.
If moisture or liquid is inside the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can
be heard in the phone or liquid has entered the handset battery
compartment or vent openings on the base), follow these steps:
Handset
Base
1. Disconnect the AC
adapter to cut off
the power.
1. Remove the battery cover and disconnect
the battery.
2. Let dry for at least 3 days with the battery
disconnected and the cover off.
3. After the handset dries, reconnect the
battery and replace the cover. Recharge the
battery fully (15-20 hours) before using.
2. Disconnect the
telephone cord.
3. Let dry for at least
3 days before
reconnecting.
CAUTION! DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up the
drying process. This will cause permanent damage to the
handset, base and the microwave oven.

When the baꢃery gets too low, the

you hear a strange beep during a call,
check the display: if you see the low
