Frequently asked questions
Question Cause & solution
ADSL Issues (Noise on line)
Why am I getting noise on
my telephone line?
LIf you subscribe to ADSL service, we recommend
you to attach an ADSL filter to the telephone line
between the base unit and the telephone line
socket. Contact your ADSL service provider or
purchase an ADSL filter from a retailer or store.
Refer to troubleshooting section for further
details.
LIf you do not subscribe to ADSL service, there
may be an enviromental issue that is causing the
interference (noise). Move closer to the base unit
and check whether there is noise. If there is no
noise, some enviromental interference has
caused the noise.
LIf there is noise intermittently, there is a possibility
of enviromental interference. Refer to the
troubleshooting.

display caller information?
LYou need to subscribe to Caller ID service.
