How do i to reset bell cordless handset - flashing base 1

If the message light on the Telstra cordless handset 1 is flashing, indicating a new message, but the message light on handset 2 does not flash even when it's on the cradle, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check message notification settings: Make sure that the message notification settings on both handsets are properly configured. Refer to the user manual or the settings menu on the handsets to adjust the message notification settings. Ensure that the notification is enabled for both handsets.
2. Reset the handsets: Try resetting both handsets to their default settings. This can be done by removing the batteries from the handsets, unplugging the base station, and leaving them disconnected for a few minutes. Then, reinsert the batteries and plug in the base station. Allow the handsets to reconnect to the base and check if the message light on both handsets functions properly.
3. Check the base station: Ensure that the base station is functioning correctly. Check if the base station is properly connected to the telephone line and power source. If possible, try connecting handset 2 to the base station that handset 1 is connected to and see if the message light functions on that base station. This will help determine if the issue is with the base station or the handset itself.
4. Contact Telstra support: If the issue persists after trying the above steps, it may be best to contact Telstra support directly for further assistance. They will have specific knowledge of their product and can provide more detailed troubleshooting steps or advise on any potential repairs or replacements that may be necessary.

Remember to refer to the user manual for your specific Telstra cordless model for more detailed instructions on troubleshooting and operating the handset.

Suggest you reset handset and register again with base.

Instructions from manual...
Resetting Handsets If you have trouble with a handset or if you want to replace one, clear the registration information from the base and the handset: 1. Press & hold END and # at the same time until you see the System Reset menu. 2.If you still have the base the handset is registered to, select Deregister HS, then select the handset you want to reset. If you don't have that base anymore, select Base Unavailable. 3. To confirm, select Yes. The handset displays Handset not registered. Registering Handsets If you see a "not registered" message on a handset, you must register it to a base before using it. 1. Place the handset in the base; the display should say Handset Registering. 2.Wait until the display says Registration Complete (about 30 seconds), then pick up the handset and press TALK/FLASH. 3.If you don't hear a dial tone or the display says Registration Failed, charge the battery completely, then try again.

Disconnect the base for a few minutes,
eventually remove batteries if it has any.
It should reset the base so you can set again.

Multiple handsets registered to one base works well.
The extra base can be used as a remote charging
dock without registering a handset.

Trying to register a handset to two bases is neither
possible nor useful.

Good luck!

OTOH, the specific model number was
not given. While I have never heard of
registering a handset to more than one base,
nor made it happen by accident, maybe we
all do "...learn something new everyday...".

What is the specific model number, and the
date of manufacture ? Thanks! a r t

seconds), then pick up the handset and press Talk/flash.

Hello there and welcome to Fixya!

I think your handset needs to be reset .First of all open the base of your cordless phone ,it will have a recharging battery packed inside. remove the plugs so it can be free for 10 seconds. and then attach again , and see if it resets and your problems get solved

Do comment if it helps you in any manner

You 2 year old disconnected the handset from the base. The handset is asking to be connected to the base. If you have the owners manual it will tell you the sequence you need to do to reconnect the handset to the base. If not, google the make and model and get the manual on line. sometime sitting the handset on the base several times in sequence will re sink it to the base.

hello there i think this is because you need to register the second handset with the base here are the instructions
