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 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 p.28).  
2/ Can the handset be left on the base all the tim e?  
Yes there is no “memory effect”.The handset can be left on the base station for all current models using NiMh batteries.  
3/ W ill my phone lose all recorded data (phonebooks entries, recorded m essages) 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 & tim e on my phone and the inform ation given after a call is not correct.  
W hy?  
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.  
5/ I cannot use the answering m achine of my Philips phone together with my Fax plugged into the  
sam e line, why is this?  
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 p 34.  
6/ W hat is CLI and how do I m ake 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.  
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 are generally not 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.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
8/ W hat is CNIP (Caller Nam e 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 Operators 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 m any 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 511/515 has a REN of 1.A total REN of 4 is allowed, if the total REN of 4 is exceeded, the tele-  
phones may not ring.  
With different telephone types there is no guarantee of ringing, even when the REN is less than 4.  
10/ My answering m achine does not record the m essages left by my correspondents. 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/ W hich 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 com m unica-  
tion (DECT 511 and DECT 515 m ulti-handset packs only)?  
No it is not possible.  
13/ W hat happens if I send an SMS to a fixed line with no SMS phone ?  
The correspondent could receive a vocal 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 num ber ?  
One SMS centre number at least is pre-programmed in your DECT 511/DECT 515. However, should you need  
to store another number, other numbers can be set into the phone from the menu SMS/SMS Se ttings /SMS  
c e ntr e . Please check the incoming and outgoing centre numbers with the SMS provider or from the enclosed  
addendum to your phone user manual.  
16/ W hat is the destination box* useful for ?  
This is the number of a personal SMS box. It is a way to send an SMS to someones 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 receivers phone deals with multi-  
boxes features (provider dependent).  
17/ W hen using my SMS-enabled Philips phone with another SMS-enabled phone on the sam e  
line, can it cause any problem s ?  
Yes, this will prevent the phones from receiving SMS.You need to deactivate the SMS feature on one of the  
phones.Your DECT 511/DECT 515 has a feature which enables you to turn the SMS feature off. Go to menu

The download of ring tones and outgoing messages (only available in  
the UK and depending on the network technical availability)  
To personalise your cordless telephone, there is nothing better than a melody and a message  
of your choice! Simply call 0906 666 0788 and that's it!  
The download of ring tones  
First of all you must subscribe to the SMS function with your network provider (see SMS  
leaflet).  
Just call 0906 666 0788 and follow the instructions!  
You have chosen your ring tone?You are about to receive it by SMS.Then you will be able to  
download it on your telephone (see “SMS” chapter in the user manual, part “Read SMS/To  
save a ring tone”). Be careful, only three downloaded ring tones can be saved! If you wish to  
download another ring tone, you will have to delete one of them from "My ring tones" list  
(see “SOUNDS” chapter in the user manual, part “My ring tones/To delete a ring tone”).  
The download of outgoing messages (only available on DECT phones  
with answer machines).  
By default, your answer machine is switched on.You have to change its settings to the "Answer  
and Record with personalised OGM" mode (refer to “ANSWER MACHINE” chapter in the  
user manual, part “Settings/To record your personal outgoing message”).These two  
conditions are necessary to receive your message. Be careful! On the “Answer and Record  
with personalised OGM” mode, recording a new message will automatically delete the  
previous one. Before downloading an outgoing message, make sure your answer machine is not  
full.  
Keep in mind your Remote Control code (RC) written under your base station (see the  
ANSWER MACHINE” chapter in the user manual, part “Settings/To change the  
remote control code”).  
Just call 0906 666 0788 and follow the instructions!  
Remember to free the line. Do not answer the next call and wait for your answer machine to  
record the message.  
You can choose to welcome all the callers with this message or only the group of your choice.  
In this case, you must previously subscribe to the Caller Display Service offered by your  
network provider.
