Customizing Your Handsets, Selecting a Ring Tone | Uniden DECT1580

Customizing Your Handsets

All of the following options are set separately for each handset, so you can customize a handset for each room in your house.

Changing the Handset Banner

Each handset will display a banner name once it is registered to the base. The default banner is Handset #1, Handset #2, etc. You can change the name your phone displays by changing the banner display. If you have more than one handset, the banner name identifies your handset.

1)Press Menu/Select.

2)Select the Handset Setup menu, and then the Banner submenu.

3)Use the keypad to enter or edit the banner name. (See Entering Text from Your Handset on page 22 for detailed instructions on entering text.)

4)Press Menu/Select. You will hear a confirmation tone.

Note: When you have multiple bases and even if the handset ID is changed when you switch to a different base, the handset will keep the banner name.
