Siemens Gigaset 8800 Cordless Expansion Handset Questions & Answers
WON'T REGISTER TO THE BASE
Did you go to gigaset support site? Siemens had turned support over to a third party and most times can answer questions.
8800 Gigaset lights up but won't turn on.
I have seen that problem before, and it is a terminal one, sorry. You can put the batteries in backwards, and it will be okay. However, once it is set in the charger and the phone turns on, thats when the damaged occured. There is a power protection circuit (for surges), but I rarely see them open for this reverse polarity instance. The polarity reversal of the batteries does not kill the display itself (I know I have replaced them to no avail), it kills a circuit driving the display and I see the bad signals coming from the CPU which is a 80 zillion leg micro surface mount which is not cost effective to replace. Needless to say, I have about a dozen or so of them in that condition. You can google Siemens Cordless Telephone repair for repair or replacement solutions.
Gigaset 8800 PIN reset
- Turn the handset off by pressing and holding the PWR key.
- While holding down the keys 1, 4, and 7, turn the handset back on.
- It will display "Handset Service".
- While this message is displayed, type in the numbers 4 6 8 5 4 6 3 (the word "hotline") on the number pad.
- The phrase "Settings Reset to Default" for a second or two and the handset will power itself off.
Note: When you turn the handset back on, the handset PIN will be reset to 0000.
Connection between two phones
There might be two problem....1st of programming and 2nd one of internal hardware problem of your handset which is not working.
For the 1st option- Read manual carefully, there is security setting. Follow the steps with second one handset which is not responding.( I can assum that it is power on but not responding to signals..May i right?) After completing security process it will give long beep and will bond with other one and that is necessary for frequiency adjustment. This generally occures after removal of batteries.
For the 2nd option- There is crystal inside your handset which is resposible for generat stable and similar frequency as other handset. When that crystal lost its capacity it results in mismatching of frequency and occures in non connection results in no response from handset. This can be repaired by technician after getting part no of that crytal from your device and replace it with another one. But for this you have to visit technician with all of handsets and attachment as it is necessary to check it working properly after repair, even technician may also need it for setting frequency level.
Is it clears all doubt about this problem then say FIXYA......
