Constant buzz in your handset?
The NiMH batteries used in these phones have a useful life of about 2 years.
With only 2.4v at normal operation, the amplifier circuit will start to pick up
interference as the voltage drops in an old battery. If you hear a constant
buzzing, no matter your location or distance from the base unit, then it's most
likely your battery causing the problem. Some phones are more susceptible than
others causing the buzzing to start earlier than another phone. Battery Buzz is
a good indication to change your battery as soon as possible. As the problem
gets worse you will have voice and connection problems. Since transmitting uses
the most power, you will be unaware when your voice quality drops dramatically
for the people on the other end of the call.
Choppy Transmit
Choppy Transmit is a common problem in this model phone. It is important to
remember that you cannot hear the problem in the phone that has the problem as
it is only in the transmitted signal. The problem is usually intermittent and
effected by heat and humidity changes as well as vibration. If you experience
the problem it will not permanently go away on it's own and will only get worse.
As Choppy Transmit progresses, not only will your callers be extremely annoyed,
bit it will start to effect the operation of the phone. The base unit will loose
communication with the handset and may report it as out of range.
You should also be aware that the base unit can also have the same problem. When
your base unit has Choppy Transmit it will effect the sound quality in all, or
most, of your cordless handsets. Once again... you cannot hear the problem in
the phone that has the problem. This will often confuse people into repairing or
replacing the wrong part.
If you have noticed a problem with Choppy Transmit you will need to have the
phone serviced. It will never just go away and you can never tell when it has
returned.
