Cordless phone woes
I have a cordless phone / answering machine system at home that's
started giving trouble of late. It's a Panasonic, model KX-TG5433. 5.8 gHz. It came with 3 handsets, which I like because I can always find one of them and at least one always has a full battery charge. I'd guess it's about 5-8 years old. Problem is, two of the handsets have stopped reliably communicating with the base. I often can't get a dialtone to call out, nor answer an incoming call. Error message sometimes comes up on the handset display, saying I'm out of range. I know I can buy a new phone, but I don't mind tinkering with this one if there's a chance I can resurrect it. I've run into things like this befo electronic car keys not communicating with the car lock, TV remotes not communicating with the TV, etc. Is this a matter of frequency drift as components age? TIA for any useful feedback. |
