TROUBLE ON SEVERAL TELEPHONES

Miscellaneous

Symptom: MERLIN system interferes with television reception.

Recommended Action

Follow these steps to improve television reception:

Possible Cause

Control unit is too close to the

television.

Reorient the television antenna.

Plug the control unit and the television

receiver into different outlets so they are on

different branch circuits. The control unit

should be connected to a good third-wire

(green wire) ground.

Increase the distance between the control unit

and the television, antenna, and lead-in wires.

Place the control unit in a remote location,

such as the basement.

If necessary, consult the equipment supplier,

television dealer, or an experienced

radio/television technician for additional

suggestions. A booklet prepared by the

Federal Communications Commission may be

helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-

TV Interference Problems.” It is available

from the U.S. Government Printing Office,

Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-

00345-4.
