Cordless telephone ringer does not ring

You don't have a telephone line connected. The line may be broken. Or you may have taken the battery out and replaced it. It will not recognize the phone connection untill it is replaced in the main base cradle. This reconnects the phone.

The noise could be caused by a dirty phone line connection at the wall socket. Clean any corrosion off the contacts on the phone wall socket where the phone base station lead connects into the wall socket.

MY dear Your Phone Ringer Default So Please change Ringer
And Ringing Sound Problem will solved

It appears that your phone does not have an internal answering system, so the control of the number of rings before the callers go to voicemail is controlled by the telephone LINE and not the telephone INSTRUMENT. Since that is the case, the number of rings has to be adjusted by your telephone company (whomever you pay your monthly phone bill to), OR if this is in an office environment, that would be controlled by your company's telephone service vendor.

Sorry if that doesn't help. Just wanting to clarify that so you aren't chasing into a dead end.

Your phone is using the same frequency as the wireless router (2.4GHz). It would be very difficult to prevent this unless you change:

1. Phone to corded system.
2. Change phone to cordless DECT (5.8GHz) system
3. Change network router from "G" series to "N" series.

sounds like your having a couple of problems at the same time. the lines only ringing at station 1 is the default setting of the system my guess is that the time and date are also way off if thats the case.
To change the ringing on a prostar 816 you first need to be at a display set (doesn't matter what the extension number is).
with the handset down enter #20 the screen should say MMC DISABLED
1) enter in 1 2 3 4 1 # (that enables programming)
2) enter in #62 the screen should say day ring assn
3) press the line you wish to program
4) press the buttons for the extensions that you wish to ring (the ones in the right next to the handset)
5) press # when finished with the line
6) repeat steps 2 through 5 for the remainder of the lines you wish to change
press #when finished.

next, the problem with the cordless not working has to do with the port programming, in default it assigns all ports as multiline sets.
To assign a SLT(single line telephone) port to the system while still in program mode dial #38 the screen should say slt dial type and then 16 0's.
0 = keyset 1=slt set
enter in all 16 digits followed by the # i.e.if your cordless is on port 7 it would look like 0000001000000000 #
lastly the phone that can no lnger recieve calls sounds like the do not disturb or DND has been pressed to stop the alarm from ringing. press the mute/dnd button (light should be off). to cancel an alarm press the ALM/SD button twice and then the hold button.
hope that helps out.

Hi Peg,

 

First get new batteries. do  go to Radio Shack! Take the original with you and go to Best Buy, Circuit City....Office Max, or Staples and be sure they are IDENTICAL .   Voltage and MH (milliamps)

 

Thanks,

disconnect all phones and just connect the GE phones.
there is only a certain amount of power transmited through a phone line to make the phone ring if you have too many phones running off the same line then the ones further away from the main connection suffer

I most cases it should not matter that you have different phones to 1 phone line. You should make sure that all the phones are running off the main feed box for your property and not off each other. Check that all the wires are connected in each port and that the phone line running between the phone itself and the feed box does not exceed 50 feet because this can cause the phone to echo or not work at all.

sure u can: Installation with an answering machine and/or extension telephone: 1. Remove the seal covering the TEL. SET jack on the rear of the fax. Connect an extension telephone or answering machine to the TEL. SET jack. 2. If desired, connect an extension phone to the answering machine. from the user Fax guide: If desired,you can also connect an answering machine or an extension telephone to your fax. ¨ Connecting an answering machine to the fax will allow you to receive both voice and fax messages on the same line while you are out.
