Troubleshooting

Resetting the Handset

You may need to reset your handset in the following instances:

You lose a handset and purchase a new one.

You get the message Registration Failed when you try to register the handset.

You are unable to register any handsets to the base.

When you register new handsets to the base, the handset IDs do not match. (For example, the handset registers as “Handset #4” but you only have two handsets.)

When you are instructed to by one of Uniden’s call center representatives.

1)Press and hold [ ] and [#] for more than five seconds. Select DEREGISTER HS.

2)Select the handset which you are operating, and then press [menu/select].

3)The phone will ask you to confirm the deregistration. Select YES. The selected handset will clear its registration information only from the base it is currently connected to, and then delete the link to the base from its own memory.

4)When the base information is deleted, the handset displays HANDSET NOT REGISTERED-PLACE HANDSET ON BASE TO REGISTER. SEE YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL FOR HELP.

5)Re-register the handset to the base (see Registering accessory handsets on page 12).

If the handset cannot contact the base, it will display OUT OF RANGE. Make sure the handset is in range of the base and the base is connected to power; you can also reset the handset without the base (see the next section).
