Reset Procedure for Cordless Phones
Question:
What is the general reset procedure for cordless phones?

Answer:
1. Disconnect Battery from handset(s)
2. Disconnect Phone Cord from wall jack
3. Disconnect Phone cord from base unit
4. Disconnect AC adapter from wall outlet
5. Allow to sit for 30 min
6. Reconnect Phone Cord to base
7. Reconnect Phone cord to wall jack
8. Reconnect AC Adapter to wall outlet
9. Reconnect Battery to hanset until you click or feel the plug snap into place
10. Re-Register Handset by placing on main base in most instances

[ARC20x User Guide p20: 11 Handset Registration]
To register a new handset:

1. Press and hold the HANDSET LOCATOR on the base unit until you hear Registration tone (repeated 'beeps')
2. On the handset, press the PROG then the UP or DOWN button to display "REGISTER"
3. Press the PHONE/OK
   -> The display shows "BS 1234". If any of these numbers is steady (not flashing), then the handset is already registered to that base unit.
   
4. Press 1 to select base unit number 1
   -> The display shows "BASE PIN _ _ _ _"
5. Key in the system PIN (default 0000) and press the PHONE/OK
   -> The display shows "WAIT _ _ _ _" for a few moments, while the handset searches for a base. Then it shows a list of handset numbers which are still free on the base unit.
   (For example, "1 34 6" indicates that numbers 1, 3, 4 and 6 are free; 2 and 5 are already assigned to other handsets.)
6. Key in a free handset number
   -> After a moment, the display should show the handset's name and number.

If registration fails...

• Try again, making sure you begin step 2 as soon ans Registration tone starts.
  

get a new cord the one from head set 2 phone.

The problem of searching.....

After trying all the technician's suggestions had failed; I disconnected the base to return it to the store for replacement. Then I decided to try disconnecting and reconnecting power and phone line, placed handset back on base and the phone reset itself and is working fine...

Recap:

Disconnect power and phone line from base for about 30 seconds and reconnect both power and phone line to base and place handset back on base; it should reset...

I found out that I needed to puch the program button. the manual was not clear on this.

Thanks

I contacted GE today and they told me how to get the caller ID to work on the additional handsets. You must follow these steps in the exact order given.

#1 - unplug the base phone
#2 - unplug the telephone line from the base phone
#3 - remove the battery packs from the phones
#4 - wait 10 minutes.

reverse the order when assembling. Put battery packs in phones, put the telephone line back in the base phone and lastly plug all phones back in. It takes about another 10 minutes after that before all phones start recognizing caller ID but it now works fine.

Take it back right away. I waited 126 days thinking it would get better but 3 days ago it stopped taking messages completely.
Thge volume buttons never did give me a menu

I'm not sure from your description exactly what your problem is, but I have the 28112, and it has a handset menu command for registration, and one for deregistration. If this sounds similar to yours, I'd suggest trying the registration command. If that fails, try deregistering, and then try to register again. I've also heard that these units somehow reset after 20 seconds in the recharge cradle, but I haven't seen that actually appear to work.

If you have problems getting the menu command to work, write back with more info and I'll see if I can figure it out based on what my phone does.

How close were you to the base unit when you recorded the message? The manual suggests 9 inches from your mouth to the mic on the unit. Also speak loudly when you make the recording. Yes, you can re-record the message. In fact, you can record two messages and use whichever one fits your immediate circumstances.
