Registering phone to Base

Switched off my phone (Siemens Gigaset A265) while i was away on holiday, now can't get it working. It has charged up and the handset is flashing "Base" so I presume it requires reregistering to the Base station. Followed instructions from Booklet ie.... Menu...Register HS...input PIN...press Paging key on Base, but the Handset just flashes "Registering " for a couple of minutes then goes back to flashing "Base". Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

    Probably a slim chance it makes any difference but I've always pressed the paging button on the base BEFORE doing the procedure with the handset.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
