Uniden DECT1580 manual Resetting the Handset, Installing a telephone line filter or DSL filter

Installing a telephone line filter or DSL filter

Any broadband Internet service that uses your telephone line might interfere with standard phones. The most common type of these services, DSL, often causes static on your telephone. Fortunately, an easy-to-install filter removes this static from the line. Technicians who install DSL service usually leave several filters for the customers; if you can’t find them, call your DSL provider or look in any electronics store.

Just plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and then plug your phone’s base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.

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)Select the base you want to de-register the handset from (see Selecting the base on page 15).

2)Press and hold END and # for more than five seconds. Select Deregister HS.

3)Select the handset which you are operating, and then press Menu/Select.

4)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.
