line from causing interference on your phone. To get a line filter, contact
your service provider or look in an electronics store.
Plug the filter into the telephone wall jack and plug the base into the filter.
Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.
Liquid Damage
CAUTION: If the base is covered in liquid, disconnect the adapter
and phone cord from the wall before touching it.
If the liquid is only on the exterior housing of the base or handset, wipe it
off 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 the
leaking vent faces down. If not, place the largest vent face down.
3. Let dry for at least 3 days. Check for liquid inside the phone before
replacing compartment covers & reconnecting cords.

registration information from the base and the handset:
#
1. Press & hold enD and at the same time until you see the System Reset
menu.
2. If you still have the base the handset is registered to, select Deregister
HS, then select the handset you want to reset. If you don’t have that base
anymore, select Base Unavailable
.
3. To confirm, select Yes. The handset displays Handset not registered
