I have a Sipura 2000 connected to a Netgear WGT 624 router, and the dect
phone that is plugged into the Sipura is a Philips SE 4351. The handset
backlight on the phone is supposed to switch off after 20 seconds of no
key pressing or activity, but remains on all the time, therefore
draining the battery very quickly. I tried a second handset and this did
not make any difference, and it is the same on both Sipgate and
Voipfone. In desperation I tried unplugging the phone cable, and the
backlight then switched off automatically as it should, so it appears
that something from the Sipura setup might be triggering the phone
circuitry and keeping the backlight alive. Can anyone suggest a setting
I could try on the Sipura to try and cure this problem? I cannot try the
phone in a normal landline as I am fully VoIP, and switching off the
backlight completely makes the handset hard to read in certain lighting
conditions, so I need the backlight working as it should be. A couple of
hours of Googling has not turned up anything, and I have emailed Philips
about this and am awaiting a reply, but wondered if anyone else has had
a similar problem and how they got around it.
