Troubleshooting
My calls cut in and out while I’m using my cordless handset.
Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones, can
cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing your telephone
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 surge protector, plug the phone
(or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesn’t solve the
problem, relocate your phone or modem farther apart from one another, or
use a different surge protector.
Relocate your telephone base to a higher location. The phone may have
better reception when installed in a high area.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a
working telephone. If the other phones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in your wiring or telephone service. Contact your
telephone service provider (charges may apply).
Excessive background noise will cause a speakerphone to fade in and out.
Try controlling the background noise by turning off any audio devices near
the speakerphone. Also, try to avoid interrupting the person at the other end
of the conversation while they are speaking. If background noise cannot be
controlled, you should stop speakerphone operation and return to normal
handset mode.
When using a speakerphone, controlling background noise in your
environment is essential. While you are listening to your party, press
MUTE
/DELETE
to temporarily turn your microphone off. When it is your turn
to speak, remember to press
MUTE
/DELETE
to turn the microphone on.
