Uniden WDSS 5355 Resetting the Handset Without the Base, Changing the Digital Security Code

Resetting the Handset Without the Base

If your original base is not available for some reason, you can still reset the handset and use it with another base.

1)Press and hold [ ] and [#] for at least five seconds.

2)Move the cursor to select BASEUNAVAILABLE and then press [select/]. BASE UNAVAILABLE appears.

3)Move the cursor to select YES, and then press [select/]. You hear a confirmation tone, and the handset deletes its own base information without contacting the base. The handset displays HANDSET NOT REGISTERED-PLACE HANDSET ON BASE TO REGISTER. SEE YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL FOR HELP.

4)Register the handset to the new base (see Registering Accessory Handsets on page 20).

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. To change the digital security code:

1)Reset all of your handsets (see Resetting the Handset on page 49).

2)Re-register each handset (see Registering Accessory Handsets on page 20).

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 thirty seconds after the handset goes out of range. If you move the handset back within range of the base within thirty seconds, press [/flash] or [] to pick up the call again.
