I have some addional hand sets to register to my Samsung SP-R6100 cordless telephone base set. I followed the instructionsup to "Please wait" and it then registers "Failed to Register". It doesn't get to the point of asking for the Authentication code. What am I doing wrong? The handset now registers "Failed to Register" all of the time, even when it is it's base unit.

You need to register the handset to your base to get the phone to work to do this follow the steps in the manual. If you do not have the manual go to the link below and scroll down to product detail then click on the blue product manual.

*331734#Menu Select on the handset should de-register that handset from the old base, then you can register it to the base as per the manual (put it in the base and hold down the handset locator button for 4 seconds)

Try re-registering the handsets to the base unit. This info is on page 46 of manual, use following link to get manual http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/support/Phones-Fax/Telephones/5-8-GHz-Phones/Operating-Instructions/model.KX-TG5672B.O#ts

Hi,

This is because of the following reasons

1.The handset is far away from the base unit.Try to bring the hand set near the base unit and try.
2.The base unit is not plugged in to the power supply.Please check it.

Thanx

you dont need to deregister it if you have not registered all 8 hand sets with your base unit. Just register the new one and the base will assign a new # for this new. I you had registered 8 hand sets with your base already, you need to remove(deregister0 one handset from your base(it can take only upt 8).
If it still not registering please deregister as follows:
on the base unit, press program, them mute, then enter 335#, then enter the handset number you wish to deregister.
after deregistering try to register your new hand set.

Please check that you have correctly registered the second handset to the base. It may be necessary to de-register the second handset and then re-register it. "Out of range" just means the second handset is not within range of the base phone it was registered to.

can you give me the make and model so i can better assist you.


thanks,
Nate

I am writing for my Mum, who is 99. We live far apart, so it is a bit difficult to fix her problem. She had a new Uniden DECT 60 (?) installed in early July. It seemed to be working fine when we left her, but she says it only rings twice before going to voice mail. She says it has always been like that. How can we fix this for her even though we live at a distance?.

Have you followed the instructions for handset registration? For some of the newer handsets, you may need to refer to the instructions that came with the handset (and not the base) instead of just putting the additional handset in the base to register it.

Page 23 of the 9480 manual gives explicit registration instructions.

How to get the caller ID to work on the additional GE DECT phone handsets. You must follow these steps in the exact order :
#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 phone handsets start recognizing caller ID.
