Orchid loosing its time setting.

Jon_S_4

My cordless phone was playing up today so i unplugged the power supply from the wall and then removed the phone cable from the BT socket.

That seemed to cure the problem i was having of no dialling tone.

However, when i made a phone call the orchid dialler had lost its time routing settings and routed the call away from BT.

I understand that unpluging the phone line would have cleared the time settings, but i also use a power supply to the orchid dialler and i assumed that the orchid dialler would keep the settings as it was still powered.

Does this mean that the power supply to the orchid dialler isnt working ?


thanks

Your assumption about its behaviour is correct.

Maybe; but might you not have inadvertently unplugged the dialer when you unplugged the phone?

I bought the V4+ because, at the time, Orchid asserted that the 'powered' version was needed to ensure Caller Display information passed through and the 'one or other connected will retain time/day/date information' bonus 'feature'.

However, I then developed a procedure of always resetting the time on the odd occasion that I disconnected either!
