Weak or Hard To Hear Audio
If a caller’s voice sounds weak or
soft, the signal might be blocked
by large metal objects or walls;
you might also be too far from
the base, or the handset’s battery
may be weak.
x
Try moving around while
you’re on a call or moving
closer to the base to see if the
sound gets louder.
x
Make sure the handset’s
battery is fully charged.
x
Try adjusting the earpiece
volume.
Noise or Static on the Line
Interference is the most common cause of noise or static on a cordless
phone. Here are some common sources of interference:
x
electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens
x
computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL
modems
x
radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless
controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers
x
fluorescent light fixtures (especially if giving off a buzzing noise)
x
other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems,
intercom systems, or broadband Internet service
Do you use a T-Coil hearing aid?
•
If you have a hearing aid equipped
with a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the
interaction between the hearing aid
& digital cordless phones can cause
noise in the handset. If you have a T-
coil hearing aid & you have problems
with noise on the line, try turning on
T-coil
mode. Open the menu. Select
Handset Setup,
then select
T-coil
.
•
Using T-coil mode can shorten the
handset’s talk time; make sure to
watch the battery status and keep
the battery charged.
