Answering greeting My cat stepped on the machine on the windowsill and it recorded a portion of a tv program in the greeting setting. How can I reset it to the original greeting? I really like the voice that came with it. Thanks Martha

Do you mean the Uniden DECT 1735? You can turn on the answering system from the base On/Off button. The rest takes the hanset or a call into the phone. Start with the phone in standby (no handsets in use). Press Menu on a handset. Use the Up/Down arrows to navigate to Answering Setup and press Menu again. To set the number of rings, navigate to Ring Time and press Menu again. Use the arrows to select a number of rings and press Menu to save. Press the Left arrow/Page key to go up to the Answering Setup menu. Press End to exit the menu system.

To set the greeting, you would navigate to Record Greeting in the Answering Setup menu. Press Menu. When you hear "Record Greeting", speak your message. Press Menu when you finish. Press End to save the message after you hear it repeated. Press Menu and wait for the "Record Greeting" prompt if you need to change the greeting.

The manual for this is available on the product site: https://www.uniden.com.au/product/dect-1735-2/. The direct link to the manual is currently https://www.uniden.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/DECT_17352_OM.pdf . See the section starting on page 20 for the different steps to set up the answering system.

I hope this helps.

2. Call a Conference Bridge extension.
3. When the Conference Bridge extension answers, dial the
Supervisor Password and #.

4. Press * to skip the setting verification mode.
5. Press # to change the system settings.
6. Skip the steps until the Customized Greeting option is played.
7. Follow the voice prompt and record a new Customized Greeting.

Record a Personal Greeting


Access the answering system from any handset. Wait until the system finishes its announcements, or press 5 (Stop) to skip them.

Press 8 (RecNewGreeting).

Wait for the system to say "Record greeting," then begin speaking.

When you're finished, press 8 to stop recording. The system plays back your new greeting.


To keep this greeting, press End. To re-record it, go back to step 2.

Here is the manual for your phone. You can download the manual and the instructions for setting up your answering machine are on page 43:

Setting Up the Answering System
You can set up your answering system's features from the handset. Only one handset at a time can access the answering system menus.

Note: If you have multiple bases, select the base with answering system you want to access (see page 15).

Recording a Personal Greeting
Your answering system comes with a pre-recorded outgoing message or greeting that plays when you receive a call: "Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone." You can record your own personal outgoing greeting. Your recorded greeting must be between two seconds and thirty seconds long.

Press /mute. The system announces the number of new and old messages, then starts to play the messages unless it has no messages.

Press 5 to stop the announcements or message playback. You will hear intermittent beeps indicating that the system is in the command waiting mode.

Press 8 to start the recording. The system announces, "Record greeting." Begin recording after the announcement.

When you finish recording, press 8 again or press 5. You will hear a confirmation tone, and your recorded greeting plays back for you.

Selecting a Greeting

Once you have recorded a personal greeting, the phone automatically switches to your personal greeting. You can
also switch back and forth between the pre-recorded greeting and your own greeting at any time.

Press /mute. The system announces the number of new and old messages, then starts to play the messages unless it has no messages.

Press 5 to stop the announcements or message playback. You will hear intermittent beeps indicating that the system is in the command waiting mode.

Press 6. The system plays the current greeting.

For the DECT2180, press Mesage/Mute on any handset to access the answering system. Wait for the announcements to be finished or press 5 to skip. Then press 8. Wait for the message "record greeting" then begin speaking. Press 8 to stop recording. The system will play back the greeting. Press End to save the greeting and exit the system.

For the DECT2080, press and hold Greet on the base. When you hear "record greeting", start speaking your message. Press Greet again or the play/stop button to stop recording your message. Press Greet again to play back the current outgoing message.

Which Uniden do you have? There are several models. Manuals for all of the current ones are here: http://www.uniden.com/index/manuals_results.cfm?cat=59 .

Most models will be similar. Setting a new message when you call into the system is a totally different issue and not all Uniden phones support the feature. Read your manual.

I hope this helps.

For the TRU8885 the manual PDF form >>>Click Here<<<

If we need to dig further, just ask! :) We are just a mouse click away!
Thanks

I read thru the manual. There is nothing bout recovery of factory messages. If you recorded your own, try deleting it. Or unplug the base from power and try a reset. This is from the manual. At the end, I gave you a link to the manual!

Using a pre-recorded greeting
message
If you erase or do not record your own
greeting message, the unit plays a prerecorded
greeting message for callers
and asks them to leave messages. If the
message recording time (page 39) is set
to “Greeting only”, caller messages
are not recorded and the unit plays a
different pre-recorded greeting message
asking callers to call again.
