interference while using one channel, you can switch to another channel to
improve the sound quality of your cordless phone conversation.

beeps and the "OUT OF RANGE" message flashes on the display.  When this
occurs, move closer to the base unit and press FLASH, then dial again.

       and the "OUT OF RANGE" message flashes on the display, move closer
       to the base unit.
