Uniden DSS7955+1 Changing the Digital Security Code, Traveling Out of Range, Common Issues

Changing the Digital Security Code

The digital security code is an identification code used to connect the handset and the base. Your unit ships from the manufacturer with a preset security code. Resetting this code is not normally necessary. In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is using the same security code or if you are instructed to change this code by a manufacturer’s Call Center Representative, you can change the code by:

.Perform “Resetting the Handset” for all of your handsets by following the steps on page 26.

2.Re-register each handset by placing in the base charging cradle.

Traveling Out of Range

During a call, if you move your handset too far away from your base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limits of the base, you will hear a beep and see OUT OF RANGE on the display, and then the handset returns to standby.

Common Issues

If your phone is not performing to your expectations, please try these simple steps first. If these steps do not solve your problem, please call our Customer Hotline. See back cover page for contact information.
