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.
Try moving around while you’re on a call or moving closer to the
base to see if the sound gets louder.
Make sure the handset’s battery is fully charged.
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:
electrical appliances,
especially microwave ovens
computer equipment,
especially wireless LAN
equipment and DSL modems
radio-based wireless devices,
such as room monitors,
wireless controllers, or
wireless headphones or
speakers
fluorescent light fixtures (especially if giving off a buzzing noise)
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.
