Hello

I've just received another handset and successfully connected it to my original base. I've read that I have to select common on the menu in order to share the phonebook but if I try on the second handset it says: personal-not base 1. What does this mean? How can I make both phones to share the phonebook and work properly?

My second phone also shows: personal hanset - open base 3 when the base should be 1. I've tried to select base 1 on both phones but still not updating

Any suggestion much appreciated

Hi Bruno.
I think your new handset still thinks it's paired wit another base aswell as your own.
I would go on menu and remove base, then do it again until there is no base selected.
All your individual entries must be common in order to share with handsets.
I also think that your old handset may have two other bases paired but sort the new handset out first then let us know.
Hope I've helped.

I've been playing around and think I sorted it out. I had to cancel and re-register the base a few times in order to link the second phone to the base.

Glad I've managed eventually

Hi Andy,

as you suggested the second phone was linked to three bases and it must got confused. I've managed to remove all of them except mine and it now works!    The phonebook has now been updated!

Thanks for your reply

I don't know what I've done now but I managed to erase the phonebook from my first phone and now it shows phonebook updating but it's been there for ages and nothing happens! HELP!!! It has been registered with the base and is set on common so it should get the names

Me again!

I had to play a lot with these phones and eventually I think I understood the way they work!

Well I shouldn't complain too much as I like playing with my gadgets
