Troubleshooting

Resetting the Handset

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

•You lose a handset and purchase a new one. When you try and register to your existing base you get registration failure.

•You are unable to register any handsets to the base.

•You had a base which needed to be exchanged by the manufacturer. When you register your existing handsets to the base, the handsets say #3 and #4, but you only have 2 handsets.

•When you are instructed to by the one of the manufacturer’s call center representatives.

To reset:

Press and hold [] and [#/>] for more than 5 seconds.

You will hear a confirmation tone. The handset will clear its registration information from the base, and then delete its own base information.

PLACE HANDSET ON MAIN BASE TO REGISTER appears in the display. To re-register the handset to the base, place the handset in the base charging cradle.

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.

Note: It is also possible to reset the handset back to its original factory settings. All changes including Caller ID information will be erased. After following these steps, if your cordless telephone does not work, please visit Uniden’s customer support page at www.uniden.com.au (Australian model) or www.uniden.co.nz (New Zealand model).
