I spoke to the manufacturer this morning because I was having the same issue ... I was told that the flashing 88 means that the base unit is has gone kaput and is no longer working. period.
customer service said that this can happen due to electrical issues and the company will send me a new base unit and handset to replace the one that no longer works.

When you select register on the base, you need to press and hold # on the phone... the instructions below worked for me, finally, to get the stupid waterproof handset registered. whew!

Registering the Handset
If you have purchased this accessory handset separately, it must
be registered to the base before you can use it.
Notes:
• The handset must be fully charged before attempting to register.
• Only one handset can be registered at a time.
1) If the other base has an LCD display:
• With the phone in standby, press [Menu/Select] on the base. Press [down] to move the cursor to REGISTER HANDSET and then press [Menu/Select]. HANDSET
REGISTERING appears.
If the other base does not have an LCD display:
• Disconnect the base AC adapter. Then press and hold
[find hs] or [find] while you reconnect the adapter. Keep
pressing [find hs] or [find] until the charge/in use LED
starts to blink.
2) On the handset, press and hold [#] until the handset beeps and displays HANDSET REGISTERING.
3) When the handset finishes registering, it shows REGISTRATION COMPLETE in the display.
SOURCE: searching and out of range message keep appearing.
Hi,
This is because of the following reasons
1.The handset is far away from the base unit.Try to bring the hand set near the base unit and try.
2.The base unit is not plugged in to the power supply.Please check it.
Thanx
