My uniden DSS7855 with 1 base station and 3 handsets wont connect when i dial a number and hit the talk button it tries to connect and then comes up "'out of range" much appreciated for any help Glenn

The following is taken directly from the SSE37 owners' manual:

Registering a handset
If you see a "not registered" message on a handset,
you must register it to a base before using it.
1.
On the base, open the menu and select
Register Accy.
2.
On the handset, press and hold #/DND
until the handset display says
Handset Registering (about 2 seconds).
3.
Wait until the handset display says
Registration Complete (about 30 seconds),
then pick up the handset.
If you don't hear a dial tone or the display says
Registration Failed, charge the battery completely,
then try again.


Good luck!

Try pressing the intercom button (base) above the number 1, on the handset the intercom button is below the # button.
Intercom?
Whenever the phone is in standby, you can make an intercom call
between stations without using the phone line.
?
You can make an intercom call from any station, but only two stations
can be in an intercom call at any time.
?
If an outside call comes in during an intercom page, the phone cancels
the page so you can answer the incoming call.
?f an outside call comes in during an intercom page, the phone cancels the page so you can answer the incoming call.
?
If an outside call comes in during an intercom call, press
speaker on the base or talk/flash on the handset to hang up the intercom call and
answer the outside call
see page 15/16 of the manual at the link below.

Are you sure of the model number? The D1680 should register the handset when you put it on the base for 30 seconds. (You should see Handset Registering followed by Registration Complete.) Then press Talk/Flash to check for dial tone. On this model if the registration fails, charge the battery (or replace the battery and then charge that). Then repeat the registration.
The manual for the Uniden D1680 is available here: http://news.uniden.com/pdf/D1680om.pdf .

For other Uniden phones, like the DEC1060, you need to navigate through the handset menus to find the Handset Registration command. Then press and hold the Register Handset (Find Handset) key on the base for 3+ secondsThen the base and handset will synch. (Low batteries could interfere with the process.)

For the D3288, you access the base menu for Register Accy and then press and hold # on the handset for 30+ seconds. (You will see Registering followed by Registration Complete.)

I hope this helps.

(with a flea market phone, my first suggestion is to try a new battery for the handset. They only have a given number of recharge cycles and you do not know the history. However, sometimes the chargers do fail and a new battery will not work. In that case, the phone should be replaced. It isn't worth the cost of out-of-warranty repairs.)

It sounds like you have a defect in the main base, I suggest returning the item because you have gone as far you can go short of taking it apart.

try connecting both phones via the base that is working and see if they recognize each other. Let me know if that works.

Hello, While I cannot locate that model in any Uniden database (you might want to find the literature), It sounds as if the handset may be communicating with its base, but you have lost the dial tone. Did any storms pass through recently? Here is what you do. Go to your base and push the locator button on your base station to call the handset via the page/locator function. If it rings the handset and you can answer it okay then you know your handset is working well and communicating with your base (the radio portion is working correctly). If it does not ring your handset then your Uniden is definately bad (radio wise). But, I am going to guess that it is okay but you still cannot communicate with the outside world and dial out to get dial tone or get an incoming call. Okay, so we have a dial tone problem. The next step is to see if dial tone is getting to your base. So you will need to take another good telephone, preferably a handy "line powered" telephone (no batteries or ac adapter needed) you can use in a power failure emergency. Take that good phone and plug it into the phone cord you unplug from your Uniden base. If you get dial tone, then your uniden does need repair. If it does not get dial tone, then you have a bad cord, jack or something in your phone wiring. If thats the case, change cords, look for corrosion, dirt or bent pins in the jack on the wall. My guess is that your Uniden has gone bad, likely from a slight surge on the phone line. If you do need your Uniden repaired you can contact Uniden they are at http://www.uniden.com/repair/service.cfm , however I don't believe they offer repair, but offer to sell you a replacement. Or you can go to www.cordlessrepair.com where you can get your Uniden Cordless unit repaired, not exchanged. Good Luck, CG

Your handset is no longer communicating with your base. Depending on your model, the solutions can be a couple of different options. If I could view pdf files on this computer I would look it up for you. But here is the link to the manual on Unidens website- http://www.uniden.com/pdf/TRU8865-2om.pdf

Nonetheless, give this a try. Power down your base, and pull the battery out of your handset. Plug the battery back in the handset and set the bad handset in the base cradle, and then power up the base. Wait about 30 seconds, then give the phone a try. If it still does not work, then you need to try to "re-register" the bad handset back to the base. Look in the manual under "registration" procedures. Hope my help fixes it for you. Good Luck, CG

I searched for ages before I found the solution to this. Just plug the 2nd handset into the base station as though you were charging it. You'll see the red light in front flicker for a few seconds. Wait five seconds after it goes solid red again and remove it. Press the "find phone" button on the front of the base station. If both phones beep, you're all set. If not, rinse and repeat.

My handset does not connect to the base station. It flashes momentarily, but does not find the base. The base station has a humming noise when the phone line is disconnected and the talk button is depressed. Hum is also present when the phone line is reconnected. The problem was resolved by replacing the 9VDC power supply. The hum disappeared and the handset immediately connected to the base.
