Message on phone reads no link to base, move closer to base try again I am standing at the base. Thanks

IMPORTANT: You need to DEREGISTER the new handset by using one of the OLD ACTIVE handsets. Note the handset number (1, 2, 3, or??) on the new phone - it is on the screen. Then go through the deregistration process described in the manual using one of the working handsets. At the last step it will ask you to input the number of the handset to be deregistered. After you type that number in, the new handset will be ready to accept registeration to your handset. Now go through that procedure using the NEW handset and it will work.

After verifying that the base unit is powered up, re-register the handset to the base which can be found on page 39 of the manual. Use tis link to get manual http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/support/Phones-Fax/Telephones/Expandable-Systems/Operating-Instructions/model.KX-TG6051M.O#ts
