Here are some hints for when the static is...
on 1 handset or in 1 location:
on all handsets or in all locations:
Check nearby for one of the common
-
interference sources.
Try moving the handset away from a
-
suspected source, or try moving the
suspected source so it’s not between the
handset & the base.
Try moving closer to the base. There is
-
always more noise at the edges of the
base's range. If the handset displays an
Out of Range message, you need to
move closer to the base.
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 the base has an adjustable
-
antenna, try raising the antenna so
it stands straight up.
If you have any service that uses
-
the phone line, you might need a
filter (see below).
Installing a line filter or DSL filter
Sometimes, broadband Internet services
that use the telephone line can interfere
with phones. One of these services -DSL-
often causes static on telephones. A DSL
filter or telephone 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 plug your
phone’s base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is
gone.

you need to clear the registration information from the base and the
