This is a cordless Phone, which is fully charged, however, a few seconds after picking it up (from its Stand) it switches itself off; Now, Both of these Handsets act in a similar manner. I have tried pressing 1,4,7 & Red key, service signs appears, then Shuts off.
Same things happend to my pair of Gigaset AS28H and I suspect it is some kind of planned obsolescence feature planted into the hardware. It seems like when the battery voltage drops to little less than 2.4v it shuts off. Given that the regular rechargeable batteries are rated at 1.2v this is pretty close.
I am having very similar problems, with older phones which used to really consider as suspect. Not lasting and constant resetting However I am now suspecting the battery chargers. I have a mix of the originally supplied batteries, eneloops as well others. They all fail in the phones after a few months of use. I also have a state of the art battery panasonic battery charger and have always been confused when I insert perfectly charged batteries into the phones which the phone then reports as half charged. I do not feel that is right. After reading this article I had a closer look at three of my four Gigaset charged. All well over 3 years old. • C39280 C710 measured 7.53v(no load) yet label on charger said 4v 6.68v with 100Ω load • C39280 C710 measured 8.0v(no load) yet label on charger said 4v • S2181 measured 7.50v(no load) yet label on charger said 4v I would love to know what a newish 4v gigaset power supply reads. Anybody out there able to state what voltage a new gigaset 4v charger outputs?
Had the same. Just to try if your rechargeable batteries need refreshment - replace them with regular ones and try to switch handset on. For me it worked.
Thanks for your answer. I did put in new rechargeable batteries, in both handsets, some months ago, but the problem remains: sudden complete shutdown of the handsets during a conversation or during the dialling. Now I put in non rechargeable batteries and for the moment I do not have the problem anymore. Thanks for the hint, I wonder how long the batteries will last…. Robert
