Panasonic KX TC1713 Cordless Phone Questions & Answers
Cannot sync phones to base I own a panasonic
Some Panasonic cordless phones come with up to five handsets each will need to be properly adjusted. You may need to set the main handset to synchronize with the base unit plugged into the telephone wall jack and assign special configuration numbers to the other handsets in order to properly identify each one within a specified location. One handset left in the turned on mode may make it impossible to place calls with the any of the other handsets. This will continue until either the battery dies or fails on the handset or the phone is switched off and replaced in its charger for charging again. Synchronize the main handset by pressing the MENU button on the handset, then pressing the down button IN order to select the number you wish to assign to that handset. Repeating this process if you have already done so will greatly decrease the level of errors experienced with panasonic phones MORE USEFUL INFORMATION FOR ALL YOUR ELECTRONICS When troubleshooting these units, there are always several variables to consider. First check to see what last occurred with the unit such as did the children play video games, did the electricity go out due to bad weather. You may see that there are many possibilities but let's focus on what occurred last to the unit. Once we determine what happened last, we may isolate the actual cause of the problem. The actual cause may be associated with projection issues, older versions (Picture tube), interference from devices located nearby, and even a radio turned on and located really close to your unit. This is normally known as electromagnetic interference to electronics and is very common with the error you have provided today. Please continue to look for anything EXTERNAL to the unit before looking at the internal components. I have been working on these a long time so feel free to follow up with me.
Receiving volume in the handset
Hello,
while receiving a call, press the navigation button on the handset upwards severally and the receiving volume will increase.

Panasonic KC-TC1713 cordless phone - Voicemail light stays on
You guys had the owner manual scanned on your web site so I just RTFM ;~).
To clear the voicemail light on the base unit, first press the Redial button on the phone, then hold down the Clear button on the phone for a few seconds. The light should go out.
Here's a tip: I wrote down the above instructions on a small piece of paper and taped them to the back of the phone. You could also tape the note on the inside the battery door.
Handle Speaker phone stopped working
I'll assume this is on the base station portion. You can try unplugging the power while the phone is in the base, wait a minute, then plug back in. If that has no effect, I'm afraid you either have a failure in the keypad or in the electronics. To diagnose a keypad failure in the base, you'll need to disassemble the base. You'll find each of the rubbery keys momentarily connects two traces on the keypad circuit board when you press a button. You may also find the keypad fouled with dirt, liquid, etc, which could be a likely cause of failure. You can try manually shorting the two traces where the SP/Phone button would press and see if you are able to activate the speakerphone/dialtone. If that works, then carefully clean the keyboard circuit board and the rubbery keys. If that does not work, I conclude you have a bad keyboard circuit board or other electronics in the phone are bad.
