Tip & How-To about Uniden TRU9480 Cordless Phone

Here's a tip for ya.....

This is the second time we've replaced this set of three phones. That's right, 3 different phones ( base + 2 extensions ) that have been replaced twice. The same exact problem has come up each time. After about 3 months of use the 4 way button in the middle of the phone stops working but I've found the solution!

Step 1. Remove battery.

Step 2. Place handset(s) in boiling water.

Step 3. Boil for 45 minutes.

Step 4. Remove from boiling water and allow time for it to cool.

Step 5. Place it carefully under the front driver's side tire of your car. Drive forward and backward until fully satisfied.

Step 6. Box up the remains and ship them back to Uniden.

BONUS TIP!!! Don't eat yellow snow

Comdial edge 120 incoming call handling help

It seems like you're trying to configure a phone system or a specific phone to have incoming calls ring on multiple extensions simultaneously or forward to another extension if not answered. The exact steps can vary depending on the phone system or model you're using. If you provide more details about the phone system or model, I can offer more accurate instructions. In the absence of specific information, here's a general guide on how you might achieve this:
**For Most Phone Systems:**
1. **Ring All Extensions:**
- Log in to the phone system's administration interface.
- Locate the call forwarding or call distribution settings.
- Look for options related to "Hunt Group," "Ring Group," "Call Distribution," or similar terms.
- Create a group that includes the extensions you want the incoming calls to ring on.
- Assign the group a number or label.
- Configure incoming calls to be forwarded to the assigned group number or label.
2. **Forward After Rings/No Answer:**
- Within the same settings area, look for options related to "Call Forwarding" or "Follow Me."
- Configure the settings to forward calls to another extension or voicemail after a certain number of rings or if there's no answer.
**Example for Asterisk-based Systems (such as FreePBX):**
1. **Ring All Extensions:**
- Log in to the FreePBX administration interface.
- Create a Ring Group.
- Add the extensions you want to include in the group.
- Set the Ring Strategy to "Ringall" or "Ring All Available."
- Specify the Ring Time (how long it should ring on each extension).
- Save the settings.
2. **Forward After Rings/No Answer:**
- Create a Follow Me setting.
- Add the destination extension(s).
- Set the Ring Time (how many seconds it should ring).
- Configure the Follow Me List to go to the next destination if there's no answer.
- Save the settings.
Please note that terminology and options might differ based on your phone system's manufacturer and model. It's important to consult your phone system's documentation or seek help from your IT department or phone system administrator if you're not familiar with the settings or if you're dealing with a complex setup.
Keep in mind that making changes to a phone system's configuration can impact its functionality, so it's a good practice to do so during non-peak hours or with proper testing to ensure everything works as expected.

can not rec a dial tone, phone states no link to base move closer


If “No link to base. Move closer to base, try again.” is displayed
even when using the handset near the base unit, the handset may have lost communication with the base unit. You need to re-register the handset to the base unit.
• Make sure the base unit is not being used.
• Have both handsets and base unit nearby during registration.
• Follow steps 1–3 listed below. You have about 1 minute to complete them.
• Confirm the extension number of the handset which has lost the communication by placing the handset on the base unit or charger.
If you re-register the handset using the other handset’s extension number, the other handset will not function.
• If the handset beeps 3 times and “Error!!” is displayed, an error occurred. Try again from step 1.
• You can stop registration by pressing [OFF] on the handset, and pressing [LOCATOR/INTERCOM] on the base unit.

1 Base unit: Press and hold [LOCATOR/INTERCOM] until a beep sounds.
• The CHARGE indicator flashes.

2 Base unit: Press the extension number [1] (handset symbol 1 ) or [2] (handset symbol 2) of the
handset which has lost the communication.

3 Handset: Press and hold [FLASH/CALL WAIT] until “Handset Registering” is displayed.
• When registration is complete, a beep sounds from the handset and the display shows the number.
• Wait for 20 seconds after registration is complete while the handset establishes communication with the base unit.


• If the handset beeps 3 times and “Error!!” is displayed, an error occurred. Try again from step 1.
• You can stop registration by pressing [OFF] on the handset, and pressing [LOCATOR/INTERCOM] on the base unit.

Merging 2 siemens gigaset 4215 systems (one base with 2 phones + 2 phones)

If you're trying to get 5 handsets to work with one base, it won't work. The 4215 can only handle 4 handsets, the base handset plus 3.

When I had to replace the base of my 4 handset system, the base handset still worked. Therefore I had an extra handset which couldn't be used. So I decided to buy another base. Now I have 6 handsets which can be grouped 4,2 or 3,3.
