I have just aquired a multi line digital Rabbit phone. The batteries have been removed and the terminals soldered. The handset will not register to the base, any ideas on how to make it work please???

One thing worth testing before you put it away, would be the condition of those rechargeable batteries...

I seriously doubt they'll work. Best to make sure now, rather than risk having them explode when some innocent plugs it all together in ten years from now...

just stumbled on your site. this morning at a flee market i bought a rabbit phone in its original box all packaging and paperwork, never ever used complete just tested it and it appears to be working , no reason why it shouldn't i guess. trying to decide wether to use it as a house phone or place it all back in its box wrap the box in cling film and forget about it in the attic,,,,,,hmmmmmmm tricky one. any ideas.

I was reminded of the Rabbit because of a special offer in Toys R Us for the
