-
- : It may be a problem with the way the wiring is run for the extension. The
- : phone line may run parallel to a flourescent light, an electric power run, or
- : a motor (furnace?).
-
- : The solution is to find and fix the induction problem, or re-run the phone
- : line to the extension. Try to have the phone line cross power lines at a 90
- : degree angle where possible.
-
- The phone line runs for MILES right under power lines where they are
- subject to the same induction. Then when it gets into the dweeling the
- lines often run along the same paths as the power lines. Asking that
- the phone line run perpendicular to the power lines is pointless. The
- normal phone lines (properly balanced) will not be affected by this. THe
- problem must be solved by finding the imbalance.
