	   I own a Freedom Phone cordless telephone.  It is voice-
	activated (aren't all phones?).  About once a month, it
	goes nuts.  When I pick up the hard-wired extension phone,
	all I hear is noise ("static").  The only thing that will re-set
	the cordless phone is to unplug the lead from the power module
	and then re-attach it.
