My handset keeps going into idle mode | Philips SE6581B/17 specification

My handset keeps going into idle mode!

•If there are no key presses for 30 seconds, the handset will automatically return to idle mode. It will also return to idle mode automatically when you place the handset back on the base station (if auto hang-up feature is on).

Phonebook entry cannot be stored and Memory Full is displayed!

•Delete an entry to free memory before saving your contact again.

The PIN code is wrong!

•The default PIN is 0000.

•Reset the handset to revert to the default PIN code if it has been changed before (see “Reset Unit” - Section 13.8).

The answering machine does not record calls.

•Make sure the answering machine is connected to the power adaptor, and the power adaptor is plugged into mains supply which is switched on.

•Check if the answer machine is off, or Answer only mode is selected.

•Check to see if the answering machine is memory full. If so, delete some or all messages.

•Try switching off the power at the mains socket, and then turn it on again after 1 minute.

Unable to perform remote operation

•Make sure the remote access is on (see Section 15.6.2).

•Make sure you entered the correct remote access code.

•Use a touch-tone phone.

Note

If the above solutions do not help, remove the power from both the handset and the base. Wait for 1 minute and try again.
