  Samuel CarlsonAug 18, 2025
  Static interference (crackling sound during a call) in your Cidco Communications Cordless Telephone may occur if the base is near appliances or large metal objects. Keep the handset away from interference sources such as computers, remote control toys, wireless alarm systems, wireless intercoms, room monitors, fluorescent lights, and electrical appliances. Try pressing the CHANNEL button to switch to another channel. If the interference is severe, turn off the interfering device.
