I know the procedure - advanced settings, register, enter PIN etc. However, nothing is happening. I thought that i forgot IN, so i tryed to reset PIN. I notice that i CANT reset unit. When i get to advanced mode, and then press reset unit, phone just beeps, and nothing is happening. Same is for prefix, for baby alarm, for PIN. Everything exept for REGISTER, but that it is not working too. Where is the problem? How to reset the handset?
Yep, mine has decided to join you all today with the same problem. Tried registering the handsets again but just keeps flashing searching after a minute or so waiting. I reckon it's a problem with this phone. Not even a year old & I've lost my Argos receipt! :0( Yep, mine has decided to join you all today with the same problem.

Re: Philips cd245 duo wont register and wont reset
Hi, I sort of solved this issue. What you cannot confuse here is that when you are doing "Registering" on your existing handset, the base has to be in the registration mode too. To get the base in the registration mode, you have to press <page> (or speaker with sound symbol on the base) more than 5 seconds, then the base is in the "Register Mode". You can then go through the procedure you describe and the handset will beep with Registration number on the screen. This is however a fix only if the Base is still functioning. In my case, sadly, the base was more likely dead (if I press any button on the base, i.e. answer phone etc., there is no response). Hence I went and bought a new cheap GAP compatible BINATONE 1800 Single at Comet (14.99). I then set up the base, put it in the registration mode. Then on the Phillips CD245 handset and gone through the above registration procedure... and Voila! It worked. Now I have a new base that came with 1 handset, then 3 of my CD245 handset are all registered with it. So far, the sound quality is good and I also managed to have kept all the telephone numbers registered with the handset. The BINATONE base came with 12 months manufacturer's guarantee so I am sorted with the base problem for at least a year, which is nice. I hope this is helpful. Best, Ken

Simple answer yes they are compatable I just did it as I could not find any CD445 handsets.The manuals are downloadable from Phillips just search for CD445 or CD245 manual.Just press speaker button on 445 base for 5 seconds untill it beeps twice,then on new 245 handset menu/ register enter default code 0000 and bingo its live. Oddly the newer handset bases are 9v and not compatable with 445 bases which are 6v and have different contacts so you cant sit your 245 in the old base.My new 245 came with a new base anyway so no problem.
Hi, I solved this issue this morning. What you cannot confuse here is that handset and base. To do the registration successfully, the both must be in "Registering" mode. First, to get the base in the registration
mode, you have to press <page> (a paging function for handset in case you cannot find where they are - usually button that says <page>or speaker with sound symbol on
the base) more than 5 seconds, then the base is in the "Register Mode"(though you will hear no beep).
You can then go through the procedure you describe on the handset and the handset should beep with assigned number no more than 10 seconds after it flashed "Waiting". The above, however, works only
if the Base is still functioning. In my case, sadly, the base was more
likely dead (if I press any button on the base, i.e. answer phone etc.,
there is no response). Hence I went and bought a new cheap GAP
compatible BINATONE 1800 Single at Comet (14.99). I then set up the
base, put it in the registration mode as per the BINATONE instruction. Then on the Phillips CD240
handset and gone through the above registration procedure... and Voila!
It worked. Now I have a brand new base that came with 1 handset of its own, and 3 additional
CD245 handsets which are all registered with this base. So far, the sound quality is
good and they retained all the telephone numbers
registered with the handset. The BINATONE base came with 12 months
manufacturer's guarantee so I am sorted with the base problem for at
least a year, which is nice. I hope this is helpful. Best, Ken

You may need to register your handset to the base.
Normally ,there is a advanced setting ,register handset. At the same time, press and hold "page" key on your base 4 to 5 second , there is be a registation success tone from handset. You can register all of your handset ,one by one. Some model need to input register code, normally ,it is 1234 , or 0000.
Moved from Texas (CST) to Florida (EST). Brought my vonage equip. with me and kept my TX phone number. Just bought a new Philips CD440 phone. I set the date and clock to correct time. When I receive a call, my phone then reverts back to CST (loses an hour). I have checked all my Vonage settings; they show me as having EST and my new FL address. I can't figure out what is making the Philips phone think it is in CST. This is spooky.
The handset is not ‘registered’ with the based unit. By default, the Master PIN is 0000.
On the base station, press and hold The paging key for approximately 5 seconds.
On the handset, press Menu key,
scroll : to ADVANCE SET and press (Menu) OK,
scroll : to REGISTRATION and press (Menu) OK. Note: If no action is taken on the handset within 10 seconds, the registration procedure will be aborted. If this happens, repeat Step 1.
Enter the Master PIN when prompted and press (Menu) OK to confirm.
