<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>there is a Cisco document which explains that the
hook switch has a self cleaning mechanism and by pressing it in quick succession
x number of times, it cleans it and will continue to work normally
again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in actuality, i think it is a self-destructing
mechanism. we have had to replace a large number of phones even after we took
them apart and cleaned the electronics.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i did some calculations on the cost of maintenance
per phone, and the payback was at about 160 phones (at list price). so, if you
are replacing more than 160 phones per year, it's better to buy maintenance. if
you get discounts, then the payback is quicker (less phones needing to be
replaced).</FONT></DIV>

hookswitch</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi<BR><BR>Is anyone else seeing a lot of 7941's with bad
hookswitches? <BR><BR>We've had to RMA about 10 of them in the last
month. The switch pops up normally when the phone is taken off hook but
the user doesn't get dial tone. If you press the hookswitch 5 or 6 times
eventually you get a tone but there's definately something not working right.
<BR><BR>Just wondering. <BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR>kris seraphine
