Handsets bypassed; need to restore (follow-up)

Pat, The steps you suggested did not work. Maybe I didn't explain myself properly. Not only is the handset inoperable, but the switchook is also disabled. Picking up/hanging up the handset has no effect whatsoever on the telephone. I was able to find a free manual online. I don't recall the address, but I found it via Google. If this additional information helps shed some more light on my situation, please reply. Thank you.

Problem:posted by WTRE on Feb 20, 2007Report abuse
I bought two DKT-2010 SD phones on ebay, as replacements for my company's system.

All is well except that the handsets appear to have been bypassed, most likely for telemarketing headsets. I do not know how to restore these phones to their original state so that we may use the handsets as a conventional telephone.

The PDF user's manual I found online suggests a code that I can type to enter programming mode, but that is not working.

These phones have a horrible problem with the hook switch. If you can only get the phone to work in speakerphone mode, most likely the hook switch is shot. If nothing happens when you lift the handset a bad hookswitch is likely. If the hook switch works but the talk path in the handset does not work, there may be a cut jumper wire. The wire is cut when a headset adapter is installed and if that adapter was later removed it will effect the talk path for the handset. If you take the back of the phone off you can see the jumper (visible from the back of the circuit board through a notch next to the speaker) If you can use a soldering iron, a cut jumper can be repaired easily by bending the wire back so there is only a small gap and soldering it. -Ben

Panasonic KX-T7433 CO Not Assigned Error

The "CO Not Assigned" error on your Panasonic KX-T7433 handset indicates that the Central Office (CO) line has not been properly assigned to the handset. Since you've mentioned that other handsets in your office can connect to CO-01 without any issues, the problem seems to be specific to certain handsets. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

Restart the Handset: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary glitches. Try unplugging the handset's power cord for a few seconds and then plugging it back in.
Check CO Assignment: Double-check the CO assignment settings on the problematic handsets. Make sure that the CO-01 line is correctly assigned to those handsets. Follow these steps:
- Press the "Program" button on the handset.
- Dial 1 (CO Line Access).
- Dial the line number you want to assign (in your case, 01).
- Press the "Auto Dial/Store" button to save the assignment.
- Hang up the handset.
Reset the Handset: If reassignment doesn't work, you can try resetting the handset to its default settings. Keep in mind that this will erase any customized settings on the handset. To perform a reset:
- Make sure the handset is not in use.
- Press and hold the "Program" button while you reconnect the power cord.
- Keep holding the "Program" button until the handset displays "Initializing..." and then release the button.
- The handset will restart and return to its default settings. You'll need to reconfigure any personalized settings afterward.
Firmware Update: Check if there are any firmware updates available for the Panasonic KX-T7433 system. Outdated firmware can sometimes cause compatibility issues. Refer to the user manual or Panasonic's official website for instructions on updating the firmware.
Contact Panasonic Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it might be best to contact Panasonic's customer support. They can provide specific guidance based on your model and system setup.
Physical Check: Ensure that the physical connections and cables related to the CO-01 line are secure and functioning properly. A loose connection could lead to communication problems.

Keep in mind that these steps are general suggestions and may need to be adjusted based on the specific model of your phone system and any unique configurations in your office. If you're not comfortable performing these steps yourself, it's recommended to seek assistance from a professional technician or the manufacturer's support team.

How to do a System restore

This is a tip on explaining how to do a system restore for Windows 7. This will explain step by step instructions on how to restore your system to a previous date. This is sometimes necessary to do because of driver incompatibilities and sector errors, which causes system inconsistencies.

Here is how we do it:

Now that you have opened the application we are going to use, we can proceed with the following steps. Check the box at the left hand bottom if you want to restore to a earlier restore point. In this step you also need to choose the restore point you would want to use, and click next to proceed. Note, you can also scan for affected programs, which means that you will be notified which software or drivers will be deleted if you choose to use that specific restore point.

When you click on the next option, you will be prompted with the following screen. Click finish to start the process.

You need to understand that the changes during the restore process, will not be able to be drawn back if this process is done in safe mode. Click YES if you want to proceed.

Now you are done, the process can take a couple of minutes. I really hope that you can find this helpful.

Please rate accordingly.

Kind regards
Andrea

Hello, i have problem with my Iphone 3g 8gb. The problem is that, that after a few opening it stoped to work. It was not first time when i was opening it because wanted to make camera working well, but...

I would strongly suggest to bring it to the nearest apple store, but try these combinations as well.

1. Make sure your iPhone is connected to its charger for about 20 minutes, see if there's any reaction. The battery may be causing the problem.
2. If that's not the case, keep the phone connected to the charger, press the power button for 10 seconds, then press the home button without letting go of the power button for another 10 seconds.
3. Release the power button, and it should automatically start in DFU mode.

If this does not work, repeat all the steps above now with your USB connected to the laptop, and try restoring it with iTunes.

Handset Fails to Register

It is quite possible that you'll need to go into the menu settings on your base-unit and reset the unit or restore factory default, whichever option it gives you. Also, look in the menu on the phone to see if there is an option to reset the handset also. After resetting the unit and/or handsets, try to register the handsets again, one at a time. If that still does not fix the problem, you may have handsets that are not compatible with your system, or your system may not be able to support that many phones. However, if you have the right handsets, and your system can host that many handsets, then I'm confident that resetting the unit and re-registering your handsets should fix your problem.
Hope this helps! Have a nice day!
