possible that the new hand sets are not compatible with the base as it requires same hand sets as the base for the base to be able to register the handsets follow the user manual to see if there is a how to register section that will help identify the problem

If you still have access to the old base you can de-register the handset by following a simple process. You will have to de-register all handsets registered to that base.

• Make sure that all handsets are out of the telephone

base and chargers before you begin deregistration.

• Press and hold /HANDSET LOCATOR on the telephone

base for about 10 seconds (until the IN USE light starts to flash), then release the /HANDSET LOCATOR button.

• Immediately press /HANDSET LOCATOR while the

IN USE light is still flashing. (The light flashes for about seven seconds. If the light stops flashing, start again with Step 1.)

• It takes up to 10 seconds to complete the deregistration process. Wait

It's completely normal. The phone is simply saying it detected an incoming call that it didn't answer. Try setting your other answering machine to pick up immediately, perhaps that will stop your phone from "seeing" an incoming call.

1st check with the phone company.

• Press and hold handset locator on base station until 'in use' light comes on.
• Press # on the handset and the phone registers itself to the base station.

I repeated the above procedure with my two remaining handsets and now I have a 6 handset cordless system for my home. It's important to note that if you have a working base station you should use the standard instructions for deregistering the handsets. Each handset gets allocated a handset number by the base station, if you deregister using the special code detailed in this post then the reserved handset number on the base station is consumed and cannot be reclaimed; thus reducing the number of handsets the base station can support by 1. The special code is only for use when you have a handset that is orphaned from a lost or non-working base station. www.apparelstore38.com

You have a couple of choices.... Either it (the phone) is broken... call forwarded... or the DND - (most likely: Do Not Disturb) feature invoked. If you Still have the OWNERS MANUAL read it...

Check to make sure the base station does have power. If it does have power the base station is defective or the handset is the problem (systems with just one handset), if all handsets display the same error then it is the base.

1. To de-register the orphaned handsets from their old base: When the orphaned handset says "Connecting..." enter *331734 [menu] and it will soon beep and display "Not registered" 2. To register the new handset to your base: press the "Handset Locator" button on the base and hold it until the "in use" light comes on ( ~ 4 seconds ), then release the button and set the new handset into the base phone cradle. After ~ 30 seconds it will beep and display "Handset #" (next in sequence). 3: Note: the base handles a maximum of 12 handsets. If your system was fully populated ( ie, a handset is already # 12 ) you will have to clear all the handsets from the base and re-register them all in sequence. ( it is the only way to 'rescue' the places occupied by the lost handsets ). To clear the base of all registrations: 1. Press and hold the the "Handset Locator" button until the "in use" light lights and then starts to blink ( ~ 10 seconds ), release the button -- then press it again briefly while the "in use" light is still blinking. 2. The base will beep and all handsets that were registered will display "Not Registered" 3. Follow the instructions above for each handset in turn to re-register them: press "Handset Locator" ~ 4sec ( in-use light on ), set handset into the base cradle, etc. The manual is available from: www.manualslib.com but does not fully describe these procedures.
