hey all,

i bought a quad set of Phillips CD445 cordless phones. problem i'm having is that i can make out going calls fine. now when someone calls me, i answer but the handsets do not answer the call, the phone stops ringing but there are ringing sounds still on the handset. the call goes unanswered.

i've put my BT cordless phone back and it works fine so the line is fine, just wondering if anyone has had this kind of problem before and what u did to resolve it.

what do you mean when you say............. " the phone stops ringing but there are ringing sounds still on the handset."

and does it do it with ALL the handsets?

It sounds to me like you're expecting the call to be answered whenever you pick a handset up off its cradle (known usually as 'auto-answer') but your new Philips handsets are currently programmed to only answer a call when a key is pressed (on some it can be any key but usually it's the 'talk' key).

Try turning the Auto Pick-Up feature (detailed in 5.6.4 in the user manual) on.

yeah...... it looks as if its knackered to me.

first of the strange ringing noise it makes when you put it on speakerphone....
.... also..... should the phone carry on ringing whenever you press red to hang up the phone (being as its already been answered once!)
