How can a uniden cordless TCX905 register with a uniden dect6.0 model # dect1580

Several manuals for the Uniden DECT1580 are available from Uniden support: http://www.uniden.info/download/ . The product documentation page is http://www.uniden.info/download/index.cfm?s=DECT1580 . The direct link to the English version of the owner's manual for one model in the series is http://www.uniden.info/download/ompdf/DECT1580-2om.pdf . This version came with 2 handsets; it is also sold with one handset or up to 4 handsets.

I hope this helps.

You can downlaod the manual from uniden in pdf form.

the -4 or -5 refers to how many handsets you set. The 1580 is the actual model number.

To register I think all you do is place them on the master pad once then on their own charger stations. On some models they come all done so you just plug them in charge them up and use them.

Not sure about the refurbish issue...but have you tried to de-register the handset by holding down the end key and the # key, then placing on the main base unit to register with your system.

MAKE SURE THAT INSIDE THE HANDSET THE MODEL TCX905 SHOWS, IF IT SHOWS A DIFFERENT MODEL IT WILL NOT WORK.

If the handsets are not currently registered to any base, the SYSTEM RESET menu won't appear.

If the TCX905 handsets in question are actually expansion handsets from another Uniden Phone System, they are not true TCX905 handsets. To verify, remove the battery cover and battery, then look at the inside label. If it lists the model of a TRU9xxx phone system, your handsets are NOT TCX905.

Uniden unfortunately has programmed the expansion handsets from SINGLE LINE TRU9xxx phone systems to NOT REGISTER against the TRU9466. (Those same handsets register fine against predecessor model TRU8866 though).

SOLUTION:

1. First, remove the battery cover on your unregistered TCX905 and look under the battery to confirm that you indeed purchased a TCX905 because some Uniden handsets were packaged as 905's but were not.

2. Take the fully charged unregistered 905 to the base unit TRU9496.

3. On the TRU 9496 base unit press "Menu" then select "Registration" and press OK

4. You should get the message "press the # key on the remote handset".

5. Depress the "#" key on the unregistered 905 and it should register.

Same manual as lethean provided on a similar post but Page 24 if the previously used Base is Unavailable and your phone shows "Deregistration" in the Menu.

Base Unavailable (Handset Only)
To clear the base registration data in the handset, please follow these steps:
Press and hold [] and [#] for more than 5 seconds. Select the BASE UNAVAILABLE submenu.
BASE UNAVAILABLE appears. Move the cursor to select YES, and then press the OK soft key.
ARE YOU SURE? appears. Move the cursor to select YES. Press the OK soft key.

from uniden regarding your base station:
"This expandable base system is compatible with Uniden handset models ELX500, TCX400, TCX440, and TCX805. However, only the ELX500 is compatible the base system's Bluetooth and CellLink features."

I just successfully registered 4 TCX905s with my TRU8865 base - it's documented in the TCX905 manual.

Be sure the handset you want to register is fully charged.

Remove the handset you want to register from its charger.

Now unplug the AC for the main base, hold down the 'find handset' key on the base and plug the AC in again, when it beeps, you can let go of that button.

Hold down the '#' on the handset you want to register, it will show 'Registering Handset...' and when it beeps, it's done - registered, you're good to go :)
