Here are some hints for when the static is...
on 1 handset or in 1 location:
on all handsets or in all locations:
Check nearby for one of the common
interference sources.
Try moving the handset away from a
suspected source, or try moving the
suspected source so it’s not between
the handset and the base.
Try moving closer to the base. There
is always more noise at the edges
of the base's range. If the handset
displays an Out of Range message,
you need to move closer to the base.

Check near the base for the
source of interference.
Try moving the base away from a
suspected source, or turn off the
source if possible.
If the base has an adjustable
antenna, try raising the antenna
so it stands straight up.
If you have any service that uses
the phone line, you might need a
filter (see below).

Installing a line filter or DSL filter
Sometimes, broadband Internet
services that use the telephone line
can interfere with phones. One of
these services−DSL−often causes
static on telephones. A DSL filter or
telephone line filter usually solves this problem. The technician who
installed your DSL service might have left some filters for you; if not,
call your DSL provider or look in any electronics store.
Do you use a T-Coil hearing aid?
If you have a hearing aid equipped with
a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the interaction
between the hearing aid and digital cordless
phones can cause noise in the handset. If
you have a T-coil hearing aid and you have
problems with noise on the line, try turning
on T-coil mode. Open the menu; select
Handset Setup, then select T-coil.
Using T-coil mode can shorten the handset’
s talk time; make sure to watch the battery
status and keep the battery charged.
