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
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.
