Guest guest Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 this flashing light wants to warn you, that the base is off and therefore the phone does not get a signal from the base, so that you cannot receive calls and do no calls. dietrich In einer eMail vom 17.09.2011 20:49:48 Westeuropäische Sommerzeit schreibt loni326@...: when the system is unplugged the phones have a light that flashes and never stops. Are these phone transmitting a signal or does it just come from the base? Trying to learn here! lol Loni [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Do the additional phones that sit on a base but are not from the main base transmit signal?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Loni, All wireless phones emit radiation. Yes, the base is BAD. But ALL wireless phones emit radiation. Most of the new ones are really bad. You are referring to the the multi handsets they sell, where you get 2 or 3 phones in a package, right? Some researchers even go as far to say that cordless phones aer worst then cell phones, because the base they sit on is like having a mini CELL TOWER in your house. Lizzie From: sandreas41@...

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I think she means the cordless handset you talk through. Most come wn more than one handset w some units.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Sure. When the main base is disconnected and you have other phones in other rooms sitting on a base that plugs in to the outlet in that room; do the branch phone bases send out a signal if the main base is unplugged?  On other words, do you need to unplug all the phones in every room that are additional cordless phones?  Loni > Do the additional phones that sit on a base but are not from the main base transmit signal? > Sorry, I don't follow you.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 For DECT phones the main base unit (usually the larger unit) is the transmitter, so switching this off will render the additiional handsets useless, the only issue then is the transformer plugged needlessly into the wall, so simply unplug the lot. puk In a message dated 20/09/2011 20:19:19 GMT Daylight Time, sandreas41@... writes: > Sure.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hard to say without measuring: I've seen a cordless handset which emitted strong RF until I took out the battery. However, I've also seen handsets which emit nothing. > > Sure.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Thanks you puk! Exactly what I was asking! I did unplug everything around the base so I guess that took care of the other extension phones. My sister had a phone in her room but her door is locked and couldn't get to it thus the reason for my question. Â Loni From: paulpjc@... <paulpjc@...> Subject: Re: Cordless Phones????
