Phone says OUT OF RANGE while on the base and won't work.

I even tried a new battery. I paid over $80 for this phone! It's model 28112EE2-A with digital answering machine. It is fully charged and won't work on the base or beside the base or anywhere.
Thank you for assistance.

The handset has lost the link with the base. This link codes the handset to the base with a unique security code so others with the same phone cannot use your phone line.

If you changed the battery, try disconnecting the base telephone line and ac adapter for a while (1/2 hour or so if possible).

Remove the battery from the handset as well.

After 1/2 hour, install the battery in the handset, connect the telephone line and ac adapter to the base. Place the handset in the charging base and the link should be established. If not, the phone is defective.

Can not dial out gives me a message that says no link to base

several things check the base is connected to mains power and switched on.
You have obviously checked to see if it is outof range,and checked the batteries.
If you are using more than one base check that you ar connected to the right one.
Also if you have too many appliances connected to the phone point they won`t run.

Out of range

You need to register the handsets with the base. Instructions on how to do this in the Owner Manual, or can be found at the GE website.

There is a do not disturb button on the base of your phone - if it's red it's on. Press it to turn it off. It is on the main base and works for both headsets.

Out of Range

Make certain that the phone line cable is plugged securely into the base unit in the back. Disconnect it and re-insert it into the connector firmly. That should do it if the battery pack has been sufficiently charged.....12-16 hours should do it for the initial charge. Of course, you can't ecxpect it to find the base unit if it is 2 miles away, under a metal box! Just kidding!!

Cordless Phone

You did record a message on the answerer, didn't you? Mine displayed that until I recorded the outgoing message for the answerer. You do not need any service from your phone provider. The answerer in the base unit simply records the caller's message when you don't answer after a set number of rings. The manual tells you how to name the handset, which is a nice feature if you don't wish to use "unit 1, unit 2, etc".
