I just purchased a uniden DECT1580-5A. I charged the base and phone 24 hours as the directions state. The base says E1 as soon as power is sent to it. The other 5 hand sets say searching. Please h I see how to rest phones but how do you reset the base. I unplug it base and plug it back up and still error code E1

Sounds like the radio in your base phone has quit working. Yes, you can buy another base but it has to be the same model s your existing one. After you get the new base follow the instruction in your users manual to unregister the old handset and then reregister them to the new base. Link to users manual

UNIDEN is notorius for this. It could be losing connection to the base - are you moving around while on the phone? or it could be the battery is not holding a sufficient charge. You can move the base unit to see if that helps - maybe something is interfering with the signal. You can try taking the battery out of the phone and putting it back in. If that doesn't work then try swapping the phones and putting them in each others charger. If that doesn't work then try letting the battery die by leaving the phone off the charger for 24 hours and then recharging for 24 hours. Good Luck!

uniden will sometimes take 24 hours to charge to work....if the display never works, then it is the phone...take it back.

Hello. You have to plug in your base for at least 24 hours to charge the batteries. Regards, Joe
PS - kindly rate my answer as helpful. thank you.

Have the batteries been changed since the system was purchased... 4 years is a fairly good usage for batteries in that type of use.
Good news you should have no trouble buying replacement batteries... even walmart has them. Open the back of one of the phones... the battery has a small plug.. pull that out and you will see the part number... about 25 dollars each battery pack... cheaper if you are in the states.
One note tho... when you replace the battery pack you need to charge it for at least 12 hours prior to the first usage 24 hours even better.

THATS AN ERROR MESSAGE, BASE IS NOT GOING TO WORK ITS SHOT.

I cannot receive my messages...help please

I charged my three brand new GE model 25922 for 24 hours, placed each handset in the main base to satisfy the "PLEASE REGISTER" message and the message remains. The only instruction in the manual as well as on the 800 448-0329 # is to place each handset in the base unit for 20 seconds.

I had the same problem!

What you need to do is hold the "end" and "#" key for 5 sec, which will deregister the headset then all you would have to do is place it back in the base for it to registered again.

The base unit should not need a charge. It should be powered by the plug in adapter. It may have a battery to keep operation for a short time in a power outage. The adapter may be loose, the adapter could be broken or the plug in the phone may be broken.
