• Confirm that the fax/phone cable is no longer than required, and that it does not pass near unshielded electric motors such as fans, heaters, or household appliances.

Hi there! The first thing you need to do is to check if you phone cable is inserted in the right port.There are two port for the fax.the first one is for the phone line and the second one is for additional phone.The second thing you can do is to change the cable with another one and try again.The last thing you can try is to connect a normal phone to that line and check for noise while moving the phone cable.If there is noise on the line,then you need to call a phone line tech. to check you cables.Please replay if you need any futher help!Thanky for using Fixya
