A beeping BT Freelance XD550 base means the base is faulty and you need to buy a replacement.

You can buy a replacement BT Freelance XD5500 base from sellers on eBay for £3.99 for the base and £3.99 postage & packing..

Upon purchase you need to reset the base by following the instructions below:-

Hold the Find button on the base unit until you get a double beep then
tap the Find button 7 times.

Registering the XD5500 handset.
Then register the handset to the base as follows:
Hold Find button on base unit until you get two beeps

Press menu
Scroll to register
Press menu
Scroll to Register Base

Wait
When it says PIN ? Enter 0 0 0 0 (four zeros) and press menu.

Note:
If you have more than one handset then repeat registering the handset to the base for each subsequent handset/phone.


If this procedure fails to solve the issue, then you have a unit with a fault and if it is less than a year since purchase the retailer should change it for you.

Press and hold down the Play button on the base set. If there are any messages you may try deleting them. I had a similar problem and it took me ages to find that I had old messages still stored. Also, if you press the bottom Skip key and hold it down you can turn the message alert on or off. Hope this helps. The manual is useless and wasn't written in English.
