Linksys CIT200 has a dangerous menu option -> delete HS

[texastwo]

Linksys CIT200 phone's system menu has a very dangerous option!

System menu has the following:
register
base select
delete HS
change PIN
reset

selecting delete HS brings up another menu
handset 1
handset 2
handset 3
handset 4

If you delete handset 1, you will ruin your phone!

it will not communicate with the base station anymore

there is no way to reset the phone to the original settings..IT IS TOAST

The reason I did this was to try to work around a a different problem I had with the phone.


additional comment

I am outside of th country

I will be living in India for an extended period of time

Linksys is not a global company that will support their products world wide. In other words they will not do a warranty exchange outside of the country you bought the product from. The money I spent on the phone and the money I spent getting it into India has been wasted since even though their are two Linksys affliates in Bangalore, they are unwilling to help me out.

Considering that phone communicates via DECT with its handsets...As per the standard DECT option that you have listed in the menu....You will have harldy ruined the phone to toast....Deleting handsets is quite a normal function for DECT. Once a handset is deleted and you want it back again, just simply follow the register handset procedure and voila toast is turned into telephone....
