I need to record a message for my uniden dect 6.0 and dont have the manual can you give me directions

Which specific Uniden DECT 6.0 phone do you have? There are a number of them. Uniden has the manuals available here: http://www.uniden.com/bin/venda?ex=co_disp-view&bsref=uniden&scat=dectphones_mnl . Phones are listed in alphabetical and numerical order.

If the answering system is off, turn it on before proceeding to the following steps.

If you are at home, there are usually two methods to access the answering system. Some Uniden phones let you set the outgoing message from the base or the handset. Others will only let you set the message from the handset. (Calling in remotely is more complicated.)

To access the answering system menu from a handset, on some models, push the Mute/Messages button. Then let your current message play or press 5 to stop the recorded announcement. Then either use the up/down arrows to select Record New Greeting (or the number that matches the sub-menu item). It's number 8 on the DECT1480. Then wait for the prompt (tone or "Record Greeting") and then speak into the handset clearly. Press 8 to stop recording and press End to save the message. Press 6 to select the outgoing greeting if a default greeting is available.

On other Uniden DECT phones, press Menu and go to Ans Setup. Then choose the line for the greeting (if it's a multi-line phone) and then select Record Greeting. Press Start, wait for the prompt and then press Stop when done. Press Stop again to save the message. If there is an optional pre-recorded greeting, use the Greeting Option submenu to select the greeting to play. (This applies to the DECT4086.)

From the base, you'll do something similar. However, you should stay about 9" from the microphone while recording. Messages can be between 30 seconds and 3 minutes 30 seconds for most systems.

I hope this helps.

(recording a new greeting during a remote call can be done but consult the manual for details.)

Since you declined to specify the model of your Uniden DECT 6.0 system, I can only direct you to select it from the list beginning here to download a copy of the manual.

Which Uniden DECT 6.0 phone do you have? Uniden makes several models.

For one Uniden phone that I know (DECT-1080), first make sure that the answering system is on. If needed, at the base press Ans On/Off. From a handset, press Menu/OK and use the redial and Phone Book keys to navigate through the menu to AM Operation. Press Menu/OK and navigate to Ans Settings. Press Menu/OK and navigate to Answer On/off. Press Menu/OK and then choose On and then Menu/OK again.

To set the Out-Going Message, again go to the Ans Settings submenu at the handset, and navigate to Record OGM and press Menu OK. Select OGM 1 or OGM 2 and press Menu/OK. Record your message after the tone. To select the OGM message to be heard by incoming callers, navigate to Select OGM, press Menu/OK, select the message and press Menu/OK.

Please note that you also need to make sure that the system isn't set to Announce Only in the Message length section. Enter this submenu from the Answer Settings as above. The choices are 1 minute, 4 minutes and Announce Only.

You can also do set the OGM from a touch tone phone remotely. Press * as the OGM plays and then enter your PIN. Press 06 and then 1 or 2 to select the OGM to edit. Then press 9 to return to the main menu.

However, on the DECT-1480, you set the OGM from the handset but in a different combination. Press Messages/Mute then 5 (or wait for the announcements to end). Press 8 or press the Caller ID/right arrow to navigate through the menu to 8: Record New Greeting. Press Menu/Select. Wait until you hear "Record greeting" then speak your message normally. Press 8 to end and listen to the playback of the greeting. Press End to save the message. (Select the desired greeting by pressing 6 instead of 8.)

Most Uniden DECT phone manuals are available from the product page or this list: http://www.uniden.com/bin/venda?ex=co_disp-view&bsref=uniden&scat=dectphones_mnl .

If you provide your model number in a comment, I'll be glad to give you the specific directions for setting the OGM on your phone.

I hope this helps.

For most of the Uniden DECT phones, you set up the outgoing message from the handset. Make sure the answering system is on. For the DECT1480, press Messages/Mute on the handset when the handset is in standby to enter the answering system menu. Then press 5 (or wait until the current message ends). Then press 8 (record new message). Wait for the prompt and then speak your message. When finished, press 8 again. Then listen to the play-back of your message. Press End to save and exit the menu. Alternatively you can scroll through the list of commands and press Menu/Select to enter the sub menu or command.

There are several models of Uniden DECT 6.0 phones. If you have a different phone, you should check your manual. The entire list of Uniden phone manuals is available here: http://www.uniden.com/scat/cordlessphones_mnl . Scroll down to your product and click on the version in your language.

I hope this helps.

(most of the Uniden phones that I know have the same set of directions for the answering system outgoing message.)

From your handset, you just have to press the mute button, your phone should start telling you the time, date, ect. press the #5 key and then the #8 key and start recording your message. When finished press the # 8 key again. Hope this helps

Since you neglected to specify the model of your Uniden DECT 6.0 phone/answering system I can only suggest you select it from the list beginning here to download a copy of the manual.

Since you declined to specify the model of your daughter's Uniden DECT 6.0 system I can only suggest that you select it from the list beginning here to download a copy of the manual.

With out the specific model (DECT 6.0 is a platform that all manufacturers use, it does not denote a specific model)
it is hard to say. It sounds like you have either deleted your custome message, or switched it to the pre-recorded announcement.
You can go here to download the owners manual for your phone and follow the steps for re-recording your announcement, or turning it back on if that is all you need to do.
