1467208 2020-03-05 01:17:00 We have a Panasonic KX-TG6811NZ, a month or so ago the handset started beeping and flashing. The operating instructions said to clean the battery (2xAAA rechargeable) terminals, to no effect. I then replaced the batteries, which stopped the problem for a few days, then it restarted. It only happens intermittently, and when it does, lifting the handset and replacing it clears it for a while. The battery indicator shows three bars (the maximum). Does it mean the phone is dying? The phone works perfectly otherwise. Brucem (8688)
1467209 2020-03-05 08:04:00 It might not be holding a consistent contact with the charging contacts in the base (maybe not tho, considering you say it shows a full charge). Anyway, it's worth it to also clean the contacts in the base, and the contacts at the underside of the phone.

Another possibility, if you have more than one phone, is maybe it's alerting you to a loss of signal from the base station. Have you moved any phones or placed any obstacles between them, or added any other radio frequency item that might be interferring?

All just guesses, but maybe stuff to consider.

I have cleaned the terminals as best I can, using a cotton bud and a tooth pick with a paper towel. About two days later all seems well. But being an intermittent problem, absence doesn't mean it is cured. Here's hoping!
