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.
