Traveling Out of Range, Common Issues | Uniden DCT738 manual

Traveling Out of Range

During a call, if you move your handset too far from your base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limit of the base, the handset will beep, display OUT OF RANGE, and then go to standby. The base will maintain the connection for 30 seconds after the handset goes out of range. If you move the handset back within range of the base within 30 seconds, press [/flash] or [ ] to pick up the call again.
