Also I don't think any appliances and/or chargers were functioning at the

Can some of you please suggest what other areas I might check? *


Yours or neighbors cordless phones and equipment can be an issue, is
it 900mhz, alot of things use the standard frequencies, outlet wiring
and ground can have effect, try turning off all breakers to see if you
can isolate it, is it a wide plug that goes in one way, reverse the
polarity, you have to experiment, or maybe the hmm is a defect, take
it to the neighbors and try it.
