Binatone 1910 flashing not registered to base

From Manual:
To check whether a handset is registered, make sure mains power to the
base unit is switched on and the handset is within range. The handset's
display should show its number and the <Antenna icon> should be steadily
on. If the display shows
again using the following process:
1. On the base station, press <MENU/OK> and <UP/DOWN> to show
REGISTRATION, and then press <MENU/OK> to put the base station into
registration mode. The base display will show "PLEASE WAIT" and the
base will stay in registration mode for about 2 minute, so the following
handset sequence must be completed within this time.
2. Press <MENU/OK> and <UP/DOWN> to select REGISTRATION.
3. Press <MENU/OK> to display PIN?----.
4. Enter the 4-digit system PIN (default is 0000).
5. Press <MENU/OK> to confirm, and the display will show
PLEASE WAIT flashing.
If the handset registration is successful, the display will change to standby
mode with the new handset number and the <antenna icon> will stop flashing.
The handset will automatically be allocated the next available handset
number. If the handset registration is unsuccessful, the <antenna icon> will
still flash

Check for dialing tone by pressing 'Talk On' phone button.
If no tone, check cord at base station and the phone socket is correctly plugged in at both ends using the original cord supplied.
If still no dial tone, check the phone at another phone connection to establish if either the phone or the line is faulty. Address for

It needs to be re-registered to the base, if I knew which Binatone phone you had I could have advised. Either comment to supply the model name or call 0845 345 9677 (Binatone Helpline).

Hi, I solved this issue this morning. "Searching" means the handset cannot find the signal from its base, and if you check your base, it's more likely than not, dead. In my case, I checked this by pressing any button on the base, i.e. answer phone etc., there was no response (although the handset seems to recharge power fine for some reason).

Therefore, 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 CD245 handset and gone through the above registration procedure... and Voila! It worked.

Now I have a brand new base that came with 1 new handset of its own, and 3 additional CD245 handsets which are all registered with this base. So far, the sound quality is good (no different from the previous genuine set) and they retained all the telephone numbers registered with the handset.

I don't have any high regards to binatone specifically as a brand because our last corded phone system was rubbish and died shortly after 12 months guarantee but to me it looks as if GAP compatible cordless phones have certain life-span however cheap or expensive they are (while handset seem to last much longer). Threrefore, there is more incentive to buy a cheap base new (of any make that are GAP Compatible) then connect your old handset to this base and live on 12 months manufacturer's guarantee and hopefully more. On the web, I saw some comments that are saying GAP Compatible phones and base sometimes do not successfully register each other (despite even being of the same make or brand). Obviously the users make such attempt at her/his own risk but I can confirm that the above combination worked for me.

Just for info, to do the registration successfully, the both base and handset 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".

I hope this is helpful.

Best,
Ken

The above, however, works only if the Base is still functioning.

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.

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.

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

hello there i think this is because you need to register the second handset with the base here are the instructions

2. Press the 1 number key or press the MESSAGES/CID (
