Fixing VTech Cordless Phone

[philm01]

Hello,

I am having an issue with a VTECH CS6238-4 cordless phone. The In Use LED is constantly blinking.

I received this through a garage sale. The wireless phones are all dead and need charged. But, I am unable to do anything since the In Use led is blinking. The phones "charge" then turn on and says that the phone is unable to detect the base station because it has no power or is in use. The phones then turn off. This cycle repeats.

I was wondering if anyone has had an issue like this before and if anyone knows of a solution? Thank you.

Option 1: It is just broken -the handset, or the base station.
Option 2: VTech support might help you. But if it needs repair, I doubt it will be cheaper than a new unit.

make sure the base and the headset are on the same channel and the base station id. if the base station id or channel is not set you see that errors if it not broken.

I did try to call vtech and they said that the phone is no longer supported by their technical support

How do you set/check that on a cordless phone?
