My relatively new AT&T 4600 cordless phone stopped working the other
day.  The "hot line" says it's a scrambled security code caused by the
phone's being (a) physically next to the refrigerator and/or (b)
plugged into the same outlet.

Are they correct?  Will an isolation transformer help?  If simply
interrupting the power for 15+ seconds will reset everything, is there
anything I can do to back up the phone number memory in the base unit
so that I don't have to reenter it each time this happens?


Thanks,
