FAQ

http://www.philips.com/faqs/dect
FAQ
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 line cable and not the one from any
previous phone (they are often wired differently). Check that you have fully charged the handset accor-
ding 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 (refer to the user guide).
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.
Will my phone lose all recorded data (phonebooks entries) 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.
I have set up the date & time on my phone and the information given after a call is not
correct.Why?
If you have a 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 can 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
Operator/dealer who provided and installed the ISDN.
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) as the phone rings so that you may decide whether or not to take the call.
The CLI service does not work.The service has been subscribed from an alternative net-
work to the main one. How do I solve this problem?
Change the 'operator type' or 'Caller Id type' according to the product version (refer to the user guide).
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 are generally not compatible with analogue phones for the CLI Service.
To attempt to solve the problem, change the 'Operator type' or 'Caller Id type' (refer to the user guide).
If it still does not work, it means this service is not possible with the phone behind this type of digital
phone installation.
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
40
http://www.philips.com/faqs/dect
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
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.
NB. 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.
How many telephones can I have ?
All items of telephone equipment have Ringer Equivalence Number (REN), which is used to calculate the
number of items which may be connected to any one telephone line.
Your DECT 311 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.
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.
Is it possible to write, read send or receive an SMS when the other handset is in
communication (DECT 3112 only)?
No it is not possible.
What happens if I send an SMS to a fixed line with no SMS phone ?
The correspondent could receive a vocal message (SMS provider dependent).
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.
How can I get the SMS centre number ?
One SMS centre number at least is pre-programed in your DECT 311. However, should you need to
store another number, other numbers can be set into the phone from the menu SMS/SMS
Settings/SMS centre. Please check the incoming and outgoing centre numbers with the SMS provider
or from the enclosed addendum to your phone user manual.
What is the destination box useful for ?
This is the number of a personal SMS box. It is a way to send an SMS to someone’s personal box instead
of sending it to the default box, which is a kind of common box. If you send an SMS without specifying an
SMS box number (destination box), then the SMS will be sent to the default box if the receiver’s phone
deals with multiboxes features (provider dependent).
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.You need to deactivate the SMS feature on one of
the phones.Your DECT 311 has a feature which enables you to turn the SMS feature off. Go to menu
SMS/SMS Settings/Mode/OFF
