Base station not getting registered - Siemens Gigaset 2420 Cordless Phone

usually you can just put the new hand set on the main base station. Let it set for 20 minutes or until charged. It should read your other base at that time

Hi,

If you cannot register the handset then here are some possible causes and solutions for them.

Cause 1:The handset and the base station were not prepared for registration.
Solution: Unplug and then plug in the power adapter.

Cause2:The handset or the base station has not been entered into registration mode.
Solution: See User Manual for correct registration of base station and handset.

Cause3:The base station is registered full.
Solution: Press [Page Key] on the base station to page the registered handsets, then perform the deregistration operation. Finally, register the handset you want to use.

Here is few more of additional info. if you want:

Registering the handset to the base station has nothing to do with your wireless router. The handset and the base act like walkie talkies. The signal from the handset must match the signal in the base station. The handset may have a reset button of its own, or a sequence you must go through to register the handset to the base. Try removing the battery from the handset and see if that will work. If not you need the manual to tell you what to do to register the hand set to the base.

4. You will see "Register with Base Station" in display. Press the Register softkey.
5. You will see "Power cycle base station then press ok". Unplug base and plug back in and press OK softkey.
6. You will see "Press and hold the paging button on the base for 10 seconds"
7. You will see Registering in the display on the console and then it should go to ready mode.

Sounds like the antenna on the base station is not receiving, or the cordless handset is not transmitting -OR- the sets have never been registered to the base station (please look up registering to base station, if the set has never been registered)

Did the cordless set work before?

The base station or the handset may just have a hick up, I would un-plug the base station and leave it un-plugged... now get all the cordless set(s), and take out the batteries from the cordless set(s). Wait for about 15 seconds for all the power to drain out of the sets, then re-install the batteries.

Once all the cordless sets are back up and working, plug in the base station and wait for about 1 minute.
This forces the base station to re-establish and link between the base station and the cordless sets.

Good luck

This worked for me after lots of digging....If you have already tryed reregistering your handsets and can only get two-or three to work try this and deregister them and re-register. If your base model number is vt2431: Take the handset out of the base, press **335782 on the dial pad of the base. (do not have the line active or anything , just put the (2) stars and 335782 in (no spaces) on the base unit. This will de-register all of the handsets at one time. Then all you have to do is re-register handsets...

To register your handset to that base station, you must put the base station in registration mode at the same time you put the handset in registration mode. This is how you do it. At the handset you push OK when it asks you to register. If it asks you for the pin enter 0000 (factory pin) and push OK. The handset should say "registering base 1". Then at the base press the page/reg key down until it flashes (its to the immediate right of the cradle where you rest the handset for charging). That puts the base in registration mode and now its looking for the handset and vise versa. Now watch your handsets display. If it asks to to select an intercom number, then push ok and your done. If it says "invalid pin" then you need to reset your pin on your base (thats a different problem see below). If the handset times out and never registers, you need to repeat the process a couple times, you may have a bad base or it needs to be defaulted.

If you need to default your pin, you can do so but it will default the base station to factory settings. To do so remove the power from your base, hold your page/registration key down, and apply power back to the base. Count to 15, then let off the key. Turn off the power, count to five, then apply power again and follow the steps again to register the handset and you will need to reregister every handset that was previously running on it.

You need to register the handset to your base. Its easy, but first you need to clear the setting on the handset. Do this by pushing Menu, scroll to base system settings, push OK, then scroll to Base station 1, push OK, then scroll down to deregister, push OK twice, then press End. The handset should now say "please register", of which you can press OK, enter your pin or 0000 and the display should be flashing "registering base station 1". Now quickly, at your base push Menu, scroll forward to system settings, push select, enter your pin or 0000, then select. Push select again and the display should say "registering HS". Now, both displays (base and handset should say registering), keep your eyes on your handset display, once it "shakes hands" with the base it will prompt you to select an intercom number, you can just push OK.
