Troubleshooting
Move your telephone to a higher location. The telephone will likely have
better reception when installed in a high area.
If the other telephones 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).
I experience poor sound quality when using the speakerphone.
For increased sound quality while using the speakerphone, place the
handset on a flat surface with the dial pad facing up.
When using a speakerphone, controlling background noise in your
environment is essential. While you are listening to your party, press MUTE
to temporarily turn your microphone off. When it is your turn to speak,
remember to press MUTE again to turn the microphone on.
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 the person is speaking. If background noise
cannot be controlled, you should terminate speakerphone operation and
return to normal handset mode.
I hear other calls while using my telephone.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack, and plug in
a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably
in your wiring or telephone service. Call your telephone service provider
(charges may apply).
My calls cut in and out while I’m using my cordless handset.
Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless
telephone. Try installing your telephone as far away as possible from
electronic devices such as wireless routers, or other cordless telephones.
Move the handset closer to the base. The operating range may vary with
environmental conditions and time of use. There may be places within your
environment that a cordless telephone will not work well. If the problem
only occurs in certain areas of your environment, you can conclude that
there is nothing wrong with the telephone.
Do not install this telephone near a microwave oven or on the same
electrical outlet. You may experience decreased performance while the
microwave oven is operating.
If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or surge protector, plug
the telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this
doesn’t solve the problem, relocate your telephone or modem farther
apart from one another, or use a different surge protector.
