FAQ

1/ I have no dialling tone after having installed my phone. How do I solve this problem? Check that you have connected your phone using the supplied telephone line cable and not the one from any previous phone (they are often wired differently). Check that you have fully charged the handset according to the instructions given for the phone. Check that the aerial icon (radio link with the base station) is displayed. If the handset is not registered you may need to register it (see page 43).

2/ Can the handset be left on the base all the time? Yes there is no “memory effect”.The handset can be left on the base station for all current models using NiMh batteries.

3/ Will my phone lose all recorded data (phonebook entries, recorded messages) in the case

of a general power cut?

No it will not.The data recorded in your phone is not deleted in the case of a general power failure or when you unplug your base station or when you replace the batteries.

4/ I have set up the date & time on my phone and the information given after a call is not

correct.Why?

If you have an ISDN phone installation, these parameters (date & time) may be transferred directly through the ISDN to the phone. If you did not set up the ISDN correctly, this could explain why the information transmitted is not correct. Set up the date & time directly on the ISDN phone installation or, if this is not possible, call the network operator/dealer who provided and installed the ISDN.

5/ I cannot use the answering machine of my Philips phone together with my Fax. Both are

plugged into the same line.Why is this? (DECT 627 only)

To avoid this, it is recommended to set up the number of rings before the answering machine switches on. Example: if the network mail box or a fax is set to answer the calls after 4 rings, please set up your answering machine on 3 rings.To set up the number of rings, please see page 48.

6/ What is CLI and how do I make it work? CLI stands for Caller Line Identification and it is a special service that you may subscribe to from your network operator. Once you have subscribed to the service, a CLI enabled phone will display the callers number (unless withheld) when the phone rings so that you may decide whether or not to take the call.

7/ The CLI service does not work on my Philips phone, on my digital phone installation

(ISDN,ADSL). How do I solve this problem?

Our products are designed to work on an analogue network. If you plugged your PHILIPS phone into a digital installation, the CLI may not be displayed upon incoming calls. Digital phone installations (ISDN) are not always compatible with analogue phones as far as operator services are concerned. You may find the information regarding compatibility in the user guide of your ISDN. If not, please contact the ISDN manufacturer to check if the device is designed to display CLI on analogue phones. ISDN over 2 or 3 years old may not be compatible with analogue phones for the CLI Service. Note that the filters used with some ADSL lines can filter out part of the CLI signal and prevent the phone from displaying CLI correctly. It is possible to purchase better ADSL filters that do not cause this problem.

FAQ

8/ What is CNIP (Caller Name Identification)? As with the CLI service, this new feature is dependent on the Network and it has to be activated by your network operator (by subscription). It will allow you to have the name of the caller displayed upon an incoming call. This service may not be available from all operators yet.We advise you to check with your operator. N.B. If the name of the caller is registered in your phonebook upon an incoming call it will be the name you have registered which will be displayed and not the one provided by the operator.The data in your phonebook will have priority over the operator’s data in this particular case. The CNIP uses the same technology as for the CLI.Therefore the limits of this service are identical (please refer to the questions related to CLI if the service is not working properly). Remember that it only works with alphanumeric display.

9/ How many telephones can I have? All items of telephone equipment have Ringtone Equivalence Number (REN), which is used to calculate the number of items which may be connected to any one telephone line. Your DECT 623/627 has a REN of 1. A total REN of 4 is allowed, if the total REN of 4 is exceeded, the telephones may not ring. With different telephone types there is no guarantee of ringing, even when the REN is less than 4.

10/ My answering machine does not record the messages left by my callers. How do I solve this

problem?

Check the operator voice mail box is not activated. If it is activated, set the answering machine so that it starts recording first (set up the number of rings before the answering machine switches on).

11/ Which are the conditions required to be able to send an SMS ? You must first have a subscription to Caller Display (CLI) service from your network operator as well as an SMS service subscription from the appropriate provider.

12/ Is it possible to write, read send or receive an SMS when the other handset is in

use (DECT 623 and DECT 627 multi-handset packs only)?

No it is not possible.

13/ What happens if I send an SMS to a fixed line with no SMS phone ? The person could receive a voice message (SMS provider dependent).

14/ Is it possible to send an SMS to a fixed line in another country ? This feature depends on your provider. Please contact your provider for more details.

15/ How can I get the SMS centre number ? At least one SMS centre number is pre-programmed in your DECT 623/DECT 627. However, should you need to store another number, other numbers can be set via the menu SMS/SMS Settings/SMS Center. Please check the incoming and outgoing centre numbers with the SMS provider or from the enclosed addendum to your phone user manual.

16/ When using my SMS-enabled Philips phone with another SMS-enabled phone on the same

line, can it cause any problems ?

Yes, this will prevent the phones from receiving SMS messages.You need to deactivate the SMS feature on one of the phones.
