I have a GE mod.no.25833ge3-a.I replaced the battery and it keeps kicking off from charging and the display says "handset needs registration" the dealer didn't know how to correct it.What can i do ?
I had the same problem and have seemed to figure it out. Take the handset near the base. Press the Prog/Mute button at the bottom of the phone. It will display a message to press the Pager on the base. The phone will then ask you for a Handset Name. Press the Prog/Mute button again and it will name the handset Handset 1.. it is working

1. press [Find Handset] on the base and hold for
~4 sec until the "In Use" lamp lights.
2. press # on the handset and set the handset into
the handset cradle on the base
3. within 30 seconds or so, the handset will either
chirp and display "Handset Registered", then
"Handset #1" or it will say "Registration Failed".
NOTE: the battery must be well charged prior to the
registration process, a weak battery may cause a
"Registration Failed". Charge the battery for a few
hours and try the registration ( II ) again.
NOTE: the base can only handle 5 handsets and will
increment the number of each handset registered
until "Handset #5" has appeared, even if some of
the handsets are lost/not in use. Trying to register
more than 5 handsets will result in "Registration Failed."
===============================
III. To clear the base of all handset registrations and
be able to start registering again at Handset #1:
1. press [Find Handset] on the base and hold
past ~4 sec when the "In Use" lamp lights, at
about 10 secs the "In Use" lamp will begin to
blink.
2. release the [Find Handset] button momentarily,
then briefly press it again. After a moment,
all handsets that were registered to the base
(if any) will display "Not Registered" and be
ready for fresh registration
3. for multiple handsets, return to II. above and
register each handset in turn.
===============================
Good luck !!
This sounds like a registration problem, the errant
handset(s) and the base have lost identification
with each other.
NOTE: the CS6429 works a maximum of 5
handsets, so you have a "fully populated system".
You will have to clear each handset ( I ) then clear
the base of all registrations ( II ) before re-registering

This sounds like a registration problem, the new
handset must be de-registered from its original
base and then registered to your base.

handsets. If you have a handset displaying
"Handset #5" then you have a 'fully populated system'
even if you actually have only one or two handsets.

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.
