In response to your second reply, I’ve already tried that. I reset both my Beocom 6000 Mk1, then relinked it to the base successfully. Knowing that it was linked to only that one base I tried again to reset the base with DOT 70008, but again I go the ‘Not Base 1’ error.
So if you use the BC6000 to go to the ‘select base’ menu (DOT MENU 7 then ‘select base’) is there only one base listed when you use the wheel to scroll? I only ask this because I can not convinced that a handset reset deletes all the data. (From memory, I think at least handset name stays).
I tried the same with my Beocom 2 (which is a Mk1). After resetting it and relinking it, I get ‘Wait’ if I try ‘Reset Base’ via the 9#9#9* INT menu.
I can’t find a BC2 Mk1 manual (I only have Mk2) to see if it also has the ‘select base’ menu anyway.
As an aside, I think that the Mk1 versions of BC6000 and BC2 both had the ‘select base’ facility because that was a (clunky) way of using them with two-phone lines. Later models like the Beocom 2 (US) and BC5 had two-line functionality built in when using with two-line PSTNs.
I found another post (can’t find it again now to link it!) when someone had the same issue as me with a BC5 and a BL Mk2, and they solved it by letting the BC5 battery run down while it was displaying ‘Register handset to base?’, then when they charged it and tried again, it linked first time! I’m running the battery down now so I can try that.
Worth a try! I do find that these BeoComs sometime behave in the strangest of ways, particularly at different states of battery charge!
