- The problem its seems is that the phones are reflecting a portion
- of the ring voltage back onto the other line.... This is due to
- an improperly designed ringer circuit. You could try running the
- line cord around a ferrite bead for noise suppression. Or to see
- just how bad the problem is, turn off the ringers on all the
- phones. If this solves the problem you could try installing
- separate ringers. Also are both lines on the same modular cord?
- Most 2 line phones I have seen have one jack for Line 1/Line 2
- and another for just Line 2. You could try keeping one line per
- jack.
