N�o�i�s�e��o�r��S�t�a�t�i�c�O��n��T�h�e��L�i�n�e� The 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 modems  radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers Do you have a T-Coil hearing aid? If you have a hearing aid equipped with a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the interaction between the hearing aid and digital cordless phones can cause noise in the handset. If you have a T-coil hearing aid and 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 your battery status and keep the battery charged.  large 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 service 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 and 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 telephone 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.
