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.
Move your phone to a higher location. The phone may have
better reception in a high area.
If other phones in your home are having the same problem,
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 dialing keys
facing up.
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 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 they are speaking. If background noise cannot be
controlled, you should terminate speakerphone operation and
return to normal handset mode.
