Siemens Gigaset A260 cordless phone fail to register

HERE'S THE LINK TO THE MANUAL.
The handset is either too far from the base or it needs to be registered. The instructions are in the manual.

You may download a copy of the manual here. The registration instructions are on page 13.

To register the Gigaset handset, you need to have the handset near the base. Press and hold the Register/Paging button on the base for 3+ seconds (it's hidden by the handset when on the base). A shorter press of the button will activate the Paging feature. Then within 60 seconds of pressing the Register button on the base, press Menu and select Settings. Press OK and go to Handset. Press OK and then select Register HS. Enter the base PIN (default is 0000) and then press OK. (Use the up/down arrows to navigate the menus.) You will see Registering flash on the display of the handset for approximately 1 minute while the registration is processed.

The manual for the Gigaset A490 is available here: http://gigaset.com/medias/sys_master/A31008-M2200-R301-2-3S19_en-fr-es_USA_CAN.pdf . If you need it in another language (or country), start here: http://gigaset.com/hq/en/product/GIGASETA490.html?tab=manuals .

I hope this helps.

Handsets should be able to be registered by placing them on the main base and pressing and holding the paging/registration key for 3 seconds. The batteries need to charged and discharged to condition them to maximize the batteries' life.

Hi,

Please follow this procedure to register your handset

1. On the base station: press and hold the registration/paging key for min. 3 sec.

2. On the handset: within 60 sec. of pressing the registration/paging key;

Select MENU then Settings then OK then Handset then OK - Register HS then OK -

Enter the system PIN of the base station (the default PIN is 0000). Then press OK.

Registering now flashes in the display.

Registration takes approx. 1 minute to complete.

Thanks for using FixYa. Please do leave a vote for the help.

I went through this exercise with a Siemens Gigaset 8800. The solution is to DE-register the handset first. Then register it with your base. This function can likely be accessed in the handset menu. The phone you purchased is apparently still registered to the previous user's base.
