Hi, I found an online handbook manual for the VTech 6.) CS124. I noticed on Page 20 that you can set the number of rings on your answering system. Perhaps changing the number for incoming calls to a higher number might help. Here's the link to the manual. https://cdn-web.vtp-media.com/media/p/document2/products/%7BD1C79A59-7C89-415D-830F-D57B9ACB6F33%7D/CS6124_UM_2.pdf Hope this helps.

hold down the "find handset" button til it flashes, and then let go and press it again while it flashes. This will de-register the phone and you should get a new message saying the the handset isn't registered blah blah blah. Then put it back on the base until it beeps. This should fix your problem, unless the base itself is just dead.

Unlikely to be a 'CELL' phone as they only make Landline phones. Just Erase all your saved Answerphone messages. 'RECorded MEMory Low'.

Unfortunately, the old handsets may not be compatible with the new base. The DS6251-2 base only communicates with the DS6250 accessory handset. See the accessory list here: https://www.vtechphones.com/store/pd/4158/DS6251-2-2-Line-2-Handset-Cordless-Phone-with-Answering-System-Smart-Call-Blocker . If the old handsets have been deregistered from the previous base unit, place a handset in the cradle on the base. Wait to see if the handset is registered. Alternately, press and hold Page until you see Registering. Release the Page button. Then press Quiet/# (below 9) on the handset. Wait for the handset to be registered. To deregister handsets from the DS6251 base, press and hold Page. You'll see Registering Please Wait followed by Deregister all devices? At this point, release the Page button. Then press and release Page or the soft key for Yes. I hope this helps. These are shown in the manual for the accessory handset. The manual is on available on the accessory handset page: https://www.vtechphones.com/store/pd/4184/DS6250-2-Line-Accessory-Handset-for-DS6251-series-phones .

Call forwarding is an add-on feature provided by your telephone company for a fee. Contact the phone company. The V-Tech DS6521-2 has the option of transferring a call between handsets, not to a cell phone. This uses the intercom feature to call another handset. See page 18 of the manual for more information. The manual for the phone is available on the product page: https://www.vtechphones.com/store/pd/4158/DS6251-2-2-Line-2-Handset-Cordless-Phone-with-Answering-System-Smart-Call-Blocker .

I just fixed it by unplugging the main line for 20 seconds, then plugging it back in. I unplugged everything on that line - the wall jack seemed to work where the power wires didn't seem to matter. Hopefully it doesn't go out again.

Maybe you handset was registered to another base at one time or another. The mmessage out of range will show up also if it cant see the base.If you have a DS6101 you can manually deregister the handset without having the original base it was registered too by doing the following steps:Called the manufactuer.... To do this enter on the handset you want to deregister:*331734# and press (Menu Key# 1 - top uppermost left button that is unmarked).This will put the handset back into the register mode.Hope this helps,James Pavicic Jr

Open the caller ID screen and scroll through the recent calls. Hope this helps =]

How old is the handset? Batteries last from 2 - 4 years and then can't retain a charge. In most wireless handsets the batteries are easily replaceable. Yours has a NiMH battery pack with a pigtail lead coming from it, google your model number + Battery for replacements

hold the button down for a second or2 longer perhaps

just throw it in the waste bin

Unplug all phones. Take one traditional 'plug in' phone and connected to the main incoming socket, usually the one closest to the door or fuse box. Does it work? No, phone the telco. Yes, start plugging additional phones in one at a time, testing them as you go.

then buy a new phone we know of no fix

The VTech CS6124 does not have a DND feature. The ringer volume could be set to Off. For the handset(s), press Menu (the big round button below the LCD screen) on a handset when the phone system is idle (no handsets in use). Use the arrow keys (CID/Vol- and Phone Book/Vol+) to navigate to Ringers and press Select (same as the Menu button) twice. Press the Vol+ to increase the volume. You will hear the current ringer volume. Repeat pressing Vol+ until you reach a volume that you prefer. Press Select to save the setting and then press Off to exit the menu system. To adjust the ringer volume at the base, press the Up/Down buttons when the phone system is idle. The manuals are available from VTech's product support page: https://www.vtechphones.com/support/technical-support/product/1516 . The full manual is currently available here: https://cdn-web.vtp-media.com/products/CS/CS6124/CS6124-X_WEBCIB_V7_20190916.pdf . See pages 16-17 (page 23-24 of the PDF). I hope this helps.

Add and register a handset Each newly purchased handset must be registered to the telephone base before use. When first purchased, each expansion handset shows NOT REGISTERED. You may need to charge the phone first. To register a handset:

·Place the unregistered handset in the telephone base or charger. Press Find for 4 seconds. If the headset screen doesn't light up after the 4 seconds. You will need to charge it some more. ·After making sure it is charged set the telephone on the main base again press and hold the Find button for 4 seconds ( until the red light IN USE comes on) Then release the find button. The headset will show PLEASE WAIT; this takes about 10 seconds to complete the registration. The hand set will show HEADSET REGISTERED and the headset number assigned, you will hear a beep when the registration is finished ·When the registration is complete, the newly registered handset is assigned the next available handset registration number. For instance, if you already have HANDSET 1 and HANDSET 2, the next registered handset is HANDSET 3. ·Makes sure no other headsets are in use at the time or the registration may fail. ·You cannot register a handset if any other system handset is in use. Only one handset can be registered at a time.

Double check that the power cable is _fully_ plugged into the phone base, then check to see that power cable is fully plugged into wall outlet; and/or fully plugged into phone wall outlet. (Some base units have no power adapter and get their power from the phone outlet on the wall). In short, double check _all_ wired connections. Do not assume they are fully plugged in.
