Most cordless phones have the battery in the receiver piece you hold to speak and listen. Usually, on the back you will find a door that is rather difficult to slide off, and the battery is under there. Remove your batter, and take it with you to purchase a new one to make sure the size, type and connector all match. Their are a lot of variations on that type of device.

Instructions for battery installation at bottom left of this PDF:

that is probably your mouthpiece, it is located on the lower end of your handset and you have to open unit first to have it replaced. you could check that it has contact and nothing is blocking it before replacement.

hi gus
i want deatils on 9829645009
plz emergancy.

Unfortunately that is the untold story about cordless phones they only have the capability of 1 open line be it the handset or or the base. There are some very pricey multi line systems, I have the same system bought two extra handsets and found out too late that I can only use them one at a time! Sorry probably not the answer you were looking for but thats the reality...

trun off phone and remove battery
remove power from the base unit
and leave them unpluged for 5 mins or more
then turn both units on
and replce onto base unit . Good luck

I took the post that mentioned removing the battery, waiting a few minutes and then reinserting it.  It worked.  Thanks to that person.

I had the same problem. What worked for me, after several unsuccessful registration attempts, was to disconnect the phone handset battery for about 1 min and then reconnect the battery. Run the handset registration procedure again. It registered for me on the first attempt after the battery reinstall. Good luck.
