Philips cordless cd245 duo phone problem? The phone keeps stating its "searching" for what i don't know?? Help

Question

I don't have the manual...can't find it online either....someone put me out my misery. Will not receive calls either and certainly can't make them.

Answer 1

It is searching for the base unit that is connected to the phone outlet on the wall.  It may be out of range.

Answer 2

It sounds like the handset and base lost their communication and need to get back in sync with each other.

I used to work for Lucent Technologies as a CSR for troubleshooting landline phone equipment and my parents recently had the same problem.

Here's your solution:

(I can't remember the exact sequence but let's give this a try):

Disconnect the base from the electrical outlet and the phone jack; disconnect the battery from the handset (yes actually remove the battery) and wait about 3 minutes. Then reconnect everything, put the handset on the base and wait about 5 minutes.

This should do the trick.

If this doesn't do the trick, you may need a new battery in the handset.

Best of luck.
