Why do I hear an echo on my handset?
This is normal. When you first use your phone, there may be a slight echo because the microphone is being calibrated. This will occur again if the base is disconnected from the power outlet, or after a power outage. If echo continues for several days try to reset the handset by removing the batteries from the unit for a few seconds.

If you have multiple handsets verify that you are getting echo, distortion or static on all handsets. Try to change the telephone cord that connects the base unit to the wall to resolve. Contact your Telephone Service Provider if all handsets are affected as the issue may with your telephone line.

If you have your telephone connected to your modem then you may experience static, echo or distortion. Contact your Telephone Service Provider for a DSL Filter. The DSL filter prevents interference between telephones and digital subscriber line (DSL) service connected to the same line.
