Yes, the BT4600 phone has a factory reset function. It allows you to reset the handset or base settings to their default values. This can be done through the menu by selecting "Settings," then "Reset," and confirming the reset for either the handset or base.

4. Insert New Batteries: Place the new rechargeable batteries in the correct orientation.

The ringer is not working on the second handset. Is there some thing I can do to check where the fault lies and repair it

1 comments:

To troubleshoot the ringer issue on the BT4600 second handset, follow these steps:

1. Check the Telephone Line Connection – Ensure the telephone line is properly connected.
2. Verify Do Not Disturb Mode – Do Not Disturb may be enabled, which stops the ringer. Disable it if necessary (see page 39).
3. Check Block Nuisance Calls Setting – This feature may be blocking calls, preventing the ringer from sounding (see page 32).
4. Confirm Base Ringer Settings – Ensure the base ringer is not set to off.
5. Test Another Socket or Line – The phone line or socket may be faulty. Try using a different socket or line.
6. Avoid Electrical Interference – Stay at least one metre away from other electrical equipment to prevent interference.

If the issue persists, contact BT support at 0800 145 6789.
