Re-registering all handsets.-Noise or Static On The LineThe most common cause of noise or static on a cordless phone is interference. Here are some common household sources of interference:electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL modemsradio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless controllers, or wireless headphones or speakerslarge florescent light fixtures (especially if they give off a buzzing noise)other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems, intercom systems, or broadband Internet serviceIf the static is...on 1 handset/in 1 location: on all handsets/in all locations:Press SELECT/CHANNEL to change frequencies.Check nearby for one of the interference sources.Try moving the handset away from a suspected source, or try moving the source so it’s not between the handset and the base.Try moving closer to the base. There is always more noise at the edges of the base's range.----Check near the base for the source of interference.Try moving the base away from a suspected source, or turn off the source if possible.If you have any service that uses the phone line, you might need a filter (see below).---Installing a telephone line lter or DSL lterBroadband Internet services that use the phone line can interfere with telephones. One common service−DSL−often causes static on telephones. A DSL filter or 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.) Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and then plug your phone's base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.Weak or Hard To Hear Audio If a caller’s voice sounds weak or soft, you might be too far from the base or the signal might be blocked by large metal objects or walls. The handset’s battery may be weak.Try moving around while you’re on a call or moving closer to the base.Make sure the handset’s battery is fully charged.Try adjusting the volume of the earpiece.Re-registering the handsetsWhen you first put your handsets into the base, they register to the base so they can communicate with it. You must re-register all handsets in the following situations:When there is a power failure that lasts more than one hour.If the battery is completely discharged (remember to charge the battery fully first).Any time one or more handsets can't connect to the base.If you suspect another device might be accessing your base (a rare situation).With no handsets in the base cradle, press and hold FIND HS on the base.While holding FIND HS, place the first handset in the base. The charge/in use light on the base should flash. If it doesn't, pick up the handset and start again.Wait for at least 5 seconds, then pick up the handset and press TALK/FLASH. If you hear a dial tone and the display says TALK, hang up and go on to the next handset. If not, place this handset back in the base to try again. (You don't need to hold FIND HS this time.)One by one, place each handset in the base for at least 5 seconds. Check for a dial tone on each handset before moving to the next one.Re-register all your handsets at the same time: any handsets that are not properly re-registered may not be able to communicate with the base.Handling Liquid DamageIf the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the exterior plastic housing is affected, wipe off the liquid & use as normal.If any liquid enters the plastic housing (e.g., the vents on the base or the handset battery compartment) or you can hear liquid in the phone, follow the steps below:Handset BaseRemove the battery cover & disconnect the battery. Let dry for at least 3 days with the battery disconnected and the cover off for ventilation.After the handset dries, reconnect the battery pack and replace the cover. Recharge the battery fully (15-20 hours) before using.1.2.3.Disconnect the AC adapter to cut off the power.Disconnect the telephone cord.Let dry for at least 3 days before reconnecting.1.2.3.CAUTION! DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up the drying process.
