Philips dect245 searching problem

Sorry this comes late, but we just went through this problem with our unit, but I hope this helps someone else out there.

We had the same problem. To fix this, you need to do a few things and hopefully it will work for you.

First, do you have the PIN that came standard on the phone? The standard PIN for these phones is 1234. Go to the advanced settings, and then REGISTER, and put the PIN in and allow it to go through the "registering..." mode. It even may beep and say "unregistered" but don't give up hope, If this happens, unplug the unit from your outlet and wait a few minutes, plug back in, and place the handset on the base. It should then work.

same problem here T.T really urgent

UNREGISTERED means the phone has not yet been set up to work with any particular base. I don't have any Phillips phones, so I can't tell you the procedure, but it should be outlined in the owners manual. Look for registering your handsets.

Normally , one base can register 4 hanset in EEPROM setting. The model, Maybe you can try press the "page" key, then plug the power cord , after 5 to 6 second , release "page" key. Try to register handset again.

my phone is saying unregistered

just one phone displaying unregistered

IF YOUR HANDSET WAS WORKING AND THEN STOPPED WITH "UNREGISTERED":
If lowercase unregistered is in main display and a reg. appears under the left soft key:
Press the left soft key below REG. and then press and HOLD the button on the top of the base station until the two indicator lights on top of the base station turn off. Wait until handset signals with beeps and registered. You are done

THIS IS FOR FRESH OUT OF THE BOX REGISTRATION OF UNREGISTERED HANDSET
Press REG Register shall be highlighted.
Scroll to Register. Press Select.
Enter the system PIN (Default: 0000). Use
CLEAR to correct typing errors.
Press ENTER to confirm.
• Your handset starts searching for the base.
Press and HOLD the round button on top of the base unit until the two
indications turn off.
• If registration is successful, the signal icon

If you bought the base and handset together they should already be registered. If not then the instruction manual is downloadable here: MANUAL


The relevant section is on page 16 - here is a copy:

4 handsets can be registered to the base station. A handset
can only be associated with 1 base station.

stations, make sure that these handsets are GAP compliant otherwise they will not operate properly.

I had a similar problem. I unregistered the main handset & then when I attempted to re-register it, I had the same issue (handset attempts the registration process & eventually fails). I tried everything including pressing the "Reset" button on the back of the basestation & downloading firmware version 1.0.4.80 (started with 1.0.4.50). Turns out I had to press & hold the "Page" button on the basestation while the handset is attempting the registration process.

This info is in the manual. I know, I should have read the manual first. But at least I'm not alone; the guy at Philips told me to return the product because it must be defective.

It appears that the registration process is a security process/exchange between the basestation & handset. I'm not certain how standard this process is (i.e., whether differing manufactures utilize the same security protocols). If not, it is likely that other manufacturers' handsets cannot talk to the basestation. I mention this because you said you registered the main handset multiple times, so it sounds like you are familiar with the registration process.

Nevertheless, this might help others who decide to spend their weekend pressing the "reg" button a bzillion times, watching it fail as many times, & looking for answers on
