Dect2185-3 base won't work after power outage
My Uniden DECT 2185-3 will not work after a power outage followed by a Cox phone line outage last week though it's been through many. It's plugged into a surge protector with other things that are working fine. Cox tech said it's probably damaged.
The base has, "Welcome. Please wait" on the screen. If the cordless phone is on the base the red light under the cordless phone constantly flashes red. When I press the speaker button it goes through a loop of a short dial tone then electronic beep then a busy signal. I have to disconnect the electric cord and plug it back in to stop this loop.
I tried unplugging both the electric cord and phone line then plugging them back in. I tried taking it to a different phone outlet but it does the same thing. My other phones and fax machine work.
The three cordless phones are charged but say searching. If I click talk they flash "connecting" then say "handset out of range". I took out and reinsert each battery in the cordless phones. The batteries are good and fairly new.
Is dit een goede vraag?

This sounds like a base station issue. I would concentrate on the base station itself. if the base station has battery's pull them out and disconnect from power and wait a full 10 min. Then plug it back in and see if that corrects the problem.

GKJarhead,
The base does not have batteries. It has an electric cord with an adapter that was plugged into a surge protector.
