Ge 5.8 ghz edge phones

hello
there is some battery problem with your phone please service it asap.

Another tip is to remove the battery from the handset for at least 5 seconds. You might want to get a voltage meter and check the voltage on that new battery - maybe it isn't charging properly.

Placed the second phone on the main base and it seemed to reset and now works fine.

When trying to make a call,messages appears unavailable on both hand sets that i have,i can not receive or send calls, but my land line does.

My answer:

Not sure why the first part of your Problem was all garbled up unless you were using HTML format??

Unfortunately I can relate totally to your GE cordless 5.8Ghz phone problem all too well.

Pleaseread everything below - even if it sounds unimportant. Once youdo youwill understand everything about cheaply made stuff sold here inthe USAtoday.

Had the very same experience with an almost identicalcordless phonesystem with the same everything features. Only it wascalled anOlympia. The Company is now defunct, as in OUT OF BUSINESS.Guess why?

All these cheap "throw-away" phones are made by thesame China Cooverseas under contract for various companies having USAbased roots.Everyone from AT&T to GE included! I've since boycottedGE for badwashing machine transmissions that were all made in China,and thatthey will not do a RECALL on! Why you ask? Because they don'tcare thatis why! Also boycotted GE for bad refrigerators,as well as SONY for their junk as well. If we just stop buying theseJUNK brands they will go away permanently!

WhenI contacted that Olympia CS Dept 800# theyfirst redirected me to aMOTOROLA "Fulfillment Center" somewhere, andthen to another one linkedto Giant Intl as in www.giantintl.com, as Iguess they handle complaintsfor all this cheap "branded" Made in Chinajunk we are now stuck with.Remember that name - for if you ever see itanywhere on the next thingyou are buying that is made in China - youmight want to walk away fromit like a bad plague!

Olympia sent me out3 FREE replacement phone set upgrades to replace myinitial bad 2.4Ghzsingle handset phone. Each one they sent me out as aFREE replacementupgrade was worse then the 1st.

The 1st one being a singlehandset with answering machine that had echoproblems and noise feedbackup the kazoo and then the digital displaywent out after only 2 monthsuse.

The 2nd one being a dual handset with answering machine that had the same echo effects and feedback problems.

The3rd one being a 5.8Ghz dual handset system with no answeringmachinethat sounded like a geared motor was running inside the phone,not tomention feedback as well.

After that the CS Dept said I was toast and nothing more could be done.

Sincemy first phone was FREE anyway - I figured what the heck I hadnothingto lose, and so that is why I tried to at least get 1 goodworking phoneout of the 3.

I wound up just stripping down the very 1storiginal 2.4Ghz phone forparts (ie: power adapter, good Ni-MH battpack, etc), and then did thesame with the 1st 2.4Ghz replacementphone set as well as the 3rd5.8Ghz phone set. So I wound up with a lotof nice AC adapters and 4more spare Ni-MH batts, and various other spare parts. I already found uses for 2 of those AC adapters btw!!

Ialso did a little investigating into that 2nd phone set - thatworkedsomewhat OK - and here's what I found out that was wrong withitinside. All I wanted to do is make the BEEP tone a bit louderbyopening up that small pin hole in the case cover. So I removed the2small screws in the batt compartment and carefully pried open the2handset body halves. What I found inside shocked me.

Instead ofthe antenna wire being pointed in the UP direction - so thatit wouldrest inside the handset's antenna nub on top - guess what? Itwas foldeddownwards alongside the IF circuit board thus causingfeedback inducednoise back to the phone base unit. NICE huh?

5-10 seconds and alittle bit of re-bending and VOILA - best receptionI ever had! Did thesame thing with the 2nd handset, as this was thephone system with 2handsets. I also opened up the answering machinebase and re-directedthe top antenna wire more upwards as well, as itwas laying way tooclose to the IF circuit-board as well.

What a difference thismade, and here the Private Label company thatmade them didn't evenrealize their error on what was probably millionsof these cheaply made"throw-away" phones! The other thing I hear thatgoes out on these"branded" cheap phones is the display, such as thatwhich happened on my1st replacement phone. Oh well - what do youexpect for $3?

Reason I say $3 -

Checkthis out below which I found onlineregarding your very same phone set -I know it'll make you cry, butthis is really what you are buyingQUALITY wise. A $3 phone set is all- Nice huh?

take the phone back to the store and get a new one

read the manual,you have to put code from 1st base phone,
i do not remember the code,

The additional handset and the base need to "pair" first. Put the handset in the base cradle till you see the red light blinking. That's when they are paired.

To solve the register problem.... Put each phone for 20 seconds or so in the main base. I had the same issue, and resolved it this way.

Hi Rayfatz,
I think your problem might be that the second handset is not registered with the base station. Take the second phone out of it's cradle and place it in the base station (where the first phone is), and leave it there for 20 seconds. Place it back in it's own cradle, and it should start working. Hope this helps! Hal
