the base to a different outlet. For
2 or more handsets, place each
handset in a charger.

causing interference on your phone. To get a line lter, contact your service pro-
vider or look in an electronics store.
Plug the lter into the telephone wall jack and plug the base into the lter. Make a
test call to make sure the noise is gone.

CAUTION: If the base is covered in liquid, disconnect the adapter & phone
cord from the wall before touching it.
If the liquid is only on the exterior housing of the base or handset, wipe it o and
use as normal. If you can hear liquid inside the housing:
1. Remove all compartment covers, and disconnect all cables and cords.
2. If liquid is leaking from any vent or hole, turn the phone so that vent faces
down. If not, place the largest vent face down.
