I had the same problem and my hubby managed to reset the phone by simply unplugging it from the electical network. Just wait for few minutes (the date goes back to 1 Jan 2005), then plug it again and try to dial a number. It should work.

press the button with the orange cassette on it, this will display some numbers and make a noise. then press number two(orange play) button.

Geting you the manual.

If you bought the base and handset together they should already be registered. If not then the instruction manual is downloadable here: MANUAL


The relevant section is on page 16 - here is a copy:

4 handsets can be registered to the base station. A handset
can only be associated with 1 base station.
�� To register another handset
First enter registration mode by unplugging and
plugging back in the power adapter to the
electricity supply.
Handsets registering / unregistering ( )
�� To unregister the handset you use
enter the RC code*
�� To unregister all the handsets (except the handset you are using)
enter the RC code*
Once the menu is selected, enter the RC* code written under the base and press
to confirm.
Warning : If you wish to associate a non-Philips handset to the DECT 211 or DECT 215 base
stations, make sure that these handsets are GAP compliant otherwise they will not operate properly.
*RC code
(Registration
Code) is
written under
the base.
Warning : Once unregistered, the handset is no longer operational.

Could be line cord connection at base or other wiring issue. Do you have a different phone(s) at same location that work? If you have a known good phone, the simpler the better, unplug all other tele devices at your location and verify the know good phone works?

You need to dry it out completely. A few centrifugal swings around your shoulder might remove much of the water. Then try one of these drying methods: Place it on a register or AC vent for a day or so might be the best way to get it dry. Afterwards, (if trying to operate it didn't short out a component,) it might work again.

With what kind of batteries you've renewed? Are they rechargeable?

Sorry you will need to pay for that info.

Generally the connectors are not interchangable, BUT make sure that the batteries are the same model. Also, they might be CHEAP knock offs that are faulty.

Reinitializing the base and then relinking the base to each handset may be necessary. You may have done these procedures when you first setup the phones. If the owners manual does not cover this procedure, you can try Philips technical support.

Call your phone company and ensure service to your landline is turned on. Page 36 of CD235 manual

It should say on the bottom of the base unit. I would expect 5-6 volt 500ma. That would be the size that would charge those batteries.

Check the model number Kate (I can't find it), then go to the phillips website, free manuals on there.
