Deregister AT&T orphaned phone - Model clp99587

I have a replacement base for a base that was damaged due to an electrical surge. I still have handset phones that are registered to the old base. Because of this I cannot register these phones to the new replacement base. How do I deregister handheld phone from the old base that I no longer have. The old phone shows a message -- " Out of range Or power at the base" These handhelds all have power.

Here's two proven methods to force a de-register on orphaned handsets.

This does not work on my clp99587. There is no menu button to select.

There is nothing on page 5 of the manual related to my problem.

It clearly shows you where the menu button is, which you stated you didn't have.

@spoom2 actually @telephoner is correct, there is no menu button after you enter those codes.  The answer is to press *331734# followed by the left soft key, which I found out by accident and then found it in another post.  You then register the phone by entering it in the base. I actually had a phone whose display was no longer displaying anything.  When I did all this, the display started working again too.

The OP stated there's were no keys for menu I simply directed him to the manual to show there were and how to get there. On page 4 and 5 of the link provided in post 4 two buttons are mentioned, though they are soft keys as you stated and don't say the word "menu" on them.  One is a features menu (right soft key) the other (left) is used to select the item displayed in the features menu, the manual clearly calls it a "menu" key.   Not having the phone in my hand I wouldn't know which of the two to push to complete the process and I appreciate you informing us that it is the left soft key.

This works on the model CLP99453. The soft button / menu key is the little - looking key / button just below the display screen.
