GE 28851 base handset #1, will not save ringer tone or volumn I selected. Brand New.

The base unit is the KX-TGF570. The cordless phone system was sold as the KX-TGF572. Currently, you can find the manual at Panasonic here: http://help.panasonic.ca/viewing/ALL/KX-TGF572/OI/TGF572_PNQX8348YA/TGF572_PNQX8348YA.pdf .

Assign the contact to a group. You can then set a different ringer tone for the group. Start with the phone system in standby. To change the ringer tone for a group, press Phone Book on a handset. Select Menu. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to highlight a group, press Select. Navigate to Current Group Ringer Tone and press Select. Use the arrow keys to highlight a new Group Ringer Tone and press the soft key for Save. (See page 38 of the manual). To ad a contact to a group, you need to edit that contact. Press the phone book button and select Menu. Select a contact and press Select. Edit the contact name and number and press OK after each edit if needed. Otherwise press OK twice. Use the Up/Down arrows to select a group. Press Select twice to confirm the change. Press Off when done. (See page 39 of the manual.)

I hope this helps.

Uniden has the manual for the EXAI2980 here: https://www.uniden.com/File%20Library/FooterNav/Product%20Information/Owners%20Manuals/exai2980om.pdf .

Do you need to adjust the ringer volume of the base, the handsets or both? To set the ringer volume of the base, start with the phone in standby mode (no calls being made or received) then press Menu 4 times (the right-hand button in the row above the volume up/down buttons). You should hear the current ring volume and see it displayed on the LCD screen. Press Set (the left-hand button in the row above the volume buttons). Press Skip/FF or Repeat/RR (the buttons on either side of the Play button below the LCD screen) until the desired ring volume level is displayed. Press Set to save the setting. Press Play/Stop to exit the menu system. See page 38 of the manual (page 40 of the PDF above) for the directions.

To adjust the handset ringer volume, press the handset volume up or down buttons with the phone in standby. The last chosen ringer tone and volume will be saved. See page 16 (page 18 of the PDF). Sometimes, the handset will not ring after losing the security code that pairs it to the base. Remove the handset from the base. Press and hold Page on the base (between Set and Menu). While the handset is sounding the paging tone, replace the handset in the base. Leave the handset in the base until the flashing stops (more than 5 seconds). See page 47 of the manual.

I hope this helps.
