I hear a hum or buzzing on my cordless headset. What can I do to correct this?
-
Tip 1 of 4
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. -
Tip 2 of 4
Static, noise, calls cutting in and out and other erratic performance may be caused by nearby electronic equipment and other cordless devices using the same frequency. In addition, police scanners and HAM radios can generate interference. Separate your telephone system from these devices as much as possible. -
Tip 3 of 4
Move the closer to the base. The operating range may vary with environmental conditions and time of use. There may be places within your environment that a cordless device will not work well. If the problem only occurs in certain areas of your environment, you can conclude that there is nothing wrong with the headset. -
Tip 4 of 4
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.

If your cordless headset base shares a power outlet with a modem, or if it is plugged in to a shared surge protector, try plugging the base (or modem/surge protector) in at a different location. If this solves the problem, re-locate your headset base or modem farther apart from one another, or use separate surge protectors. -
