Dear Everyone:

I have used my GE cordless phone for several years. It stopped working
suddenly a couple of days ago. The problem is as follows: When I pick
up the speaker and press the PHONE button, the red light flashes
quickly about a dozen times and, then the speaker beeps 4 times before
the red light goes off automatically. (When the phone works normally,
the red light persists and, you can proceed to dial a number.)

I first thought probably the rechargeable battery was dying, and
bought a new one from WalMart and replaced the old one with the new
one. However, the same problem persists.

Could anyone tell what the problem is and what I should do?

Thank you for reading and replying!

Did you check to see if the new battery was fully charged? Find
someone with a voltmeter to check. The charger on the base station
may have gone bad.

Thank you for reminding!

The cordless phone uses a set of 3 rechargeable batteries. Now it is 2
days since I replaced the batteries and, I assume there is enough
charge.

I also removed the 4 screws and opened the base station and did not
find anything there resembling a battery.

Thank you for the input, though I do not understand what you mean.
