I have a Uniden D1680 cordelss phone system. Often times when talking for two minutes or so--it disconnects--this happens alot. Any suggestions???

The Uniden D-1680 system can have up to 12 handsets registered to the base. (The phone system was sold in bundles with 0 to 11 accessory handsets.) However, this cordless phone system has been discontinued. I can only find used DCX160 handsets (the compatible accessory handset) on Amazon and E-bay.

I hope this helps.

To access your messages remotely please follow the instructions on page 15 of the owner's manual. Here is the link http://www.uniden.com/pdf/D1680om.pdf.

all of the cradles that hold the phones are chargers for the phones
batteries will last more than 1 hour in use and for more than 1 year in constant use and recharge after every use
I doubt that the phone is the problem but more of a service provider problem shutting down the line
there is a uniden technical division on their web page and I suggest calling the service provider and asking what is happening with the line

On the handset, press down-arrow while in standby mode. On the base, press - while in standby mode. See pages 4 and 6 of the manual.

1. Press & hold End and # at the same time until you see the System Reset menu.

2. If you still have the base the handset is registered to, select Deregister HS, then select the handset you want to reset. If you don't have that base anymore, select Base Unavailable.

3. To confirm, select Yes. The handset displays "Handset not registered"


Now you want to register the phone again.

1. Place the handset in the base; the display should say Handset
Registering.

2. Wait until the display says Registration Complete (about 30
seconds), then pick up the handset and press Talk/flash.
You should now have a dial tone

Assuming you have hung up your phone and aren't at home, dial your number and wait for the phone to ring 10 times. You should hear a series of beeps. Press 0 and then your security code. Then press 0 6 within 15 seconds of getting the system to respond to your code. The system returns to standby when there is a delay of more than 15 seconds between key presses.

This works for the Uniden D1680 but works for some other Uniden systems. I know 0 9 turns off the answering system for the D1680. Many Uniden DECT phone manuals are available here: http://www.uniden.com/scat/dectphones_mnl . They are listed in alphabetical and numerical order. Some of the other Uniden phone manuals are available by using the drop-down menu to select the Product Category on the right side of the page (near the top).

I hope this helps.

Try to reset the phone, remove all the handset batteries, disconnect power adapter and let it sit for 3-5 minutes and put back the system. This will remove all the phone memory and clear all the glitches.

Press MENU/SELECT to bring up the menu. Select "Ans. Setup". Select "Ring Time".
The above is condensed from this manual.

Uniden may be known for their great phones, but they are also known for their many flawed phones. Your best bet would be to buy a new set. They aren't that expensive and last a while. Thank you for Choosing FixYa, I was happy to assist you :)

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.)

(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.)
