Ok, reset didn't work. What do you mean "re-register"?

    To reset means to return the handset to its factory default settings.  Re-register means to instruct the handset to which frequency to communicate with the base unit.

    Provide its make/model and I'll try to find a User Guide.

        No extra step to re-register the handset to the base unit with Cox equipment .

        Just make sure either the base unit or wall jack is connected to Tel-1 of the Cox telephone modem.
