Handset can't find base.

• Your telephone can accommodate up to four cordless handsets. You can add new handsets (Model E560-2, sold separately) at any time, but each must be registered with the base before use.
• The handset provided with your telephone is automatically registered as Handset 1.
• Additional handsets will be assigned numbers in the order they are registered (2, 3 or 4). You can register a maximum of four handsets.

• Make sure your handset batteries are properly installed and charged.
• Your handset will display "ENTER BASE ID".
• Enter the 15-digit Base ID number from the bottom of the base unit.
• Press SELECT to accept the new code and complete re-registration.

Well this worked for me so hopefully it will work for everyone else also... I had dropped my handset and the battery popped out.. well upon reinserting the battery i got the T23 PD Blinking error on my phone, well after trying multiple things from what the manual was stating I eventualy gave up and unplugged the handset from the wall... well we received a call in our office and all of a sudden my "unplugged" phone, that was still sitting in the handset charger began to ring and all the normal numbers and name were on the face of the handset... I then plugged the phone back in and went into the menu to Register, then entered the Base ID which is found at your Base Phone. Once this was complete it said please wait.. although for a short while it kept on saying System Busy if you tried to hit line 1 or 2 but by the next morning it is working fine! :) Hope this helps for you also.

It sounds like you are trying to register the handset(s) to the base. Once the handset is charged, if you see 'Searching for Base' on the display,(The bold is for your question specifically but I thought you may like all of the information for getting a phone hooked up) ON the Base unit press MENU, scroll down to Display Base ID, press OK, and the Base ID code will display. If NEW appears in your handset display, press the soft key under it and enter the base ID code you found in the base display. If 'New' does not appear on your handset, press MENU and then scroll down to REGISTER. Press OK and then enter the base ID code. If the handset is already registered, please deregister all then register again. To deregister a handset which is registered to the base model 20-2431, Using the soft keys on the base, press the 'MENU', then press the down arrow once until 'SETUP BASE' is highlighted. Press 'OK'. Press the down arrow 6 times, until 'DEREGISTER ALL' is highlighted. Press 'SET' . If your handset is registered to the base model 20-2481, Using the soft keys on the base, press the 'MENU', then press the down arrow twice until 'SETUP BASE' is highlighted. Press 'OK'. Press the down arrow 7 times, until 'DEREGISTER ALL' is highlighted. Press 'SET'.

My E2562 handset 1 would not detect base and displayed D51A PD whenever I tried to manually register it. This fixed it:
1. Remove battery from handset.
2. Unplug base and unplug phone connection(s). Wait 30 seconds.
3. Plug in base.
4. Plug in phone connection(s) to base.
5. Put battery back in handset. Handset 1 should then auto register with base.

Did you try this (from the i5801 manual) -

To register a handset to the base, follow these steps:

Step 1: If ENTER BASE ID is displayed on the handset, proceed to the next step; if not, press MENU on the handset, then press ▼ until REGISTER is highlighted; now press OK.

Step 2: Locate the 15-digit Base ID number by pressing, at the base: MENU, then press ▼ until DISPLAY BASE-ID is highlighted, then press OK.

Step 3: Carefully enter this number using the handset dialpad. If you make a mistake, press ‹ to backspace. When finished, press OK.

In a few moments, the handset will be assigned a number (1-6). This will be the lowest available number in the sequence not previously assigned to another system handset.

Step 4: Repeat the procedure for any other unregistered system handsets.

Reply back if you have success. The Base ID is not from the bottom of the base unit, but is something you get by following Step 2 above.
