Tip 1 of 5

The static or cutting out you are experiencing may be due to a defective handset cord. Try replacing it.

 

Tip 2 of 5

Excessive background noise will cause a speakerphone to fade in and out. Try controlling the background noise by turning off any audio devices near the speakerphone. Also, try to avoid interrupting the person at the other end of the conversation while they are speaking. If background noise cannot be controlled, you should terminate speakerphone operation and return to normal handset mode.

 

Tip 3 of 5

When using a speakerphone, controlling background noise in your environment is essential. While you are listening to your party, press MUTE to temporarily turn your base microphone off. When it is your turn to speak, remember to press MUTE again to turn the microphone on.

 

Tip 4 of 5

If the other phones in your home are having the issue, the problem could be related to the telephone wiring in your home, or with your local telephone service. Please call your service provider for further assistance.

 

Tip 5 of 5

If you subscribe to DSL service for this telephone line, DSL filters must be plugged into EVERY phone jack that has a phone. The DSL signal can cause static/noise, squealing (similar to fax tones), caller ID disruption and other issues on your line. DSL filters block the high frequency DSL signals from being transmitted to the telephone. If you are not using the DSL filters provided by the telephone company, this will cause static/noise and possibly caller id issues on your phones.

In most cases, we recommend you connect the plug end of the DSL filter into the telephone jack, then connect a telephone cord between the filter and your phone.

Please contact your service provider to obtain DSL filters and installation information.
