A NOTE ABOUT VOICE QUALITY

Wireless phones use radio waves which do not a lways provide the same voice quality and reliability as your land-line phone.

When using your wireless phone, you may experience dropped calls,crosstalk, echo, speech distortion, or other voice quality degradation caused by the wireless network.

Variations in voice quality that you experience in the privacy mode will be heard with the speakerand may be louder because they are amplified.

If you are experiencing call distortion, check to see that thephone has a goodsignallevel. If your signal level is goodand you are still experiencing poor voice quality, switch channels by hanging up and redealing the number.
