Ok. My problem was that the main phone and answering machine worked fine, but the second handset kept saying, "Out of range" no matter what I did. If I tried to make a call, it would say, "Connecting...", but after a while, "Out of range".
I followed the manual which offers two mechanisms to deregister the phone. The first method (press Menu soft key...) went through the motions and then said, "Out of range"!
The second method in the manual worked - after I worked out what the instructions mean!
So here's the answer:
Take the phone out of the cradle (charger). Press and hold simultaneously for more than 5 seconds the red telephone-symbol key and the # key.
You will hear a confirmation tone and DEREGISTRATION COMPLETE appears.
Now go to the OTHER phone (the MAIN phone). Take it out of its cradle and put the deregistered second handset in the MAIN cradle. The window displays a few messages and then REGISTRATION COMPLETE.
After that, for me, everything worked.
(Put each phone back in its normal cradle.)
Ok I TOO have suffered from the "Out of range" problem with the Uniden 5.8 Ghz cordless phone (with 3 bases). The "Out of Range" appears on all 3 phones. The phones are not Out of range, this problem has occurred one other time. Thank heaven for other people posting their problems (Dr Tech :)) Although there are some posts that state unplugging the battery and/or the power cord works, it did not for me. Here's what DID work.
First: Deregister the phone. Hold the red end button down and the # button at the same time for about 5-8 seconds or until it beeps and says
Yes, this worked, but all I had to do was hold down the end button and # at the same time - it automatically deregistered, then I put in base, and it registered! Wow, finally!
mine did the same thing after I had unplugged my base once. Simply unplug the base wait about 10 seconds and plug it back in. Walla and presto! Handsets will work again :)

I tried all of the deregistration/registration steps unsuccessfully. Finally, just unplugging and re-plugging the power cord to the main base fixed the problem. An unbelievably frustrating process, to be sure!
(remove cover, unplug battery, while holding down * & # keys, plug in battery, then let keys go. Now press top right 3rd soft key below LCD display and reset eeprom. Place in base and re-register. If you get 'Registration Failed' then press End & # together until it says 'Registered'. Otherwise, you may have to get it repaired/replaced according to Uniden).
My phone was brand new out of the box and had the "out of range" error on both handsets. I read thru these suggestions and began by choosing "System Reset" as instructed. This did not work on its own so I tried to "deregister" the handsets. This didn't work either!!!
Out of frustration I took the batteries out of the handsets and once I replaced the batteries and put the handset back in the cradle, everything reset itself and they are all working fine now.
PHEW!!
You should do the Deregistration and then do the Registration again
You have to put the both unit on the BASE for 10 sec. to sync.
You need to deregister both handsets. press end button (red) and # at the same time for about 5-6 seconds. pick "base unavailable" and then deregister. put back on base until it reregisters. repeat with other handset. JUST A GURL
We had 1 phone of the 2 which said "out of range".After trying everything, including registration etc, we pulled the battery out of the back of the phone, disconnected the leads. Gave it a clean, then replaced it. Now the phone works normally.
Solution #4 above works!!! Take the battery of the handset out, wait for a while, then plug the battery back in. Works like a charm!!
I called the Uniden support, and although it took awhile, the customer service representative was able to get all three of my phone sets registering again with the base.
My two uniden phones both say "out of range"
The solution for me was to unplug the power from the base and plug it back in.
Unplug phone,take out battery,plug in phone,place battery back in,fixed...
I changed the battery from headset one with headset 2 and problem solved. Before I changed that battery, I left the one that said out of range to sit for about 5 minutes before I plugged in other battery
Unplug the phones from the jack, and remove the batteries and power cord, wait 2 minutes, see if that helps.that is what i did the first time and it worked but i dont thing it will work the next.
Go to Menu then select System Reset, then selct Replacing base, then answer Yes. This will advise you to place in base to register and it will do so in about 5 seconds.
I had 'Out of Range' issues for my second Uniden WDECT 3355 +2 handset. Every time I hit the 'talk' button, it would display 'Out of Range' on the screen. Here's what I did (in order):
If you require a user manual for the UNIDEN WDECT 3355 +2, you can view and download it here:

Press the Hand Set (HS) button on the main base which causes your phone to beep loudly. Then pick up the phone, press "Talk" to stop the beeping and you're all set again. This will get rid of the "Out of Range" and "Searching" mode and you will be able to use your phone again.
My phone was doing same thing (out of range) I'm beating my brains out. Some of my outlets are on swithes and my wife had turned a switch off .of coarse she was the first one to notice phone not working. All works well at least that was my problem I' m glad it was a easy fix .

Same issue. We have only had the phones 2 years! For the price you would think they would last longer! Will not buy this brand again!
i have 2 handsets that are connected to a computer splitter and have been so for about 18 months and working fine. now i have no dial tone and one handset will say out of range every now and again. I can get a dial tone if i disconnect from the splitter and move it to another location but then my computer doesn't work....HELP.
My phones all say out of range! i have tried deregistering them and reseting them with the main base but they are still not working. I bought the original base with 2 handsets about a year ago and just added another handset recently, before it all stopped working. Very disapointed.
message shows 'out of range'. i've hung up, unplugged the adapter & it still shows the message.
Same issue showing out of range on the first handset
My Uniden phones worked ok for about 1 month. Now all three in the set say "Out of Range". Nothing I've tried has worked. Maybe the base unit transceiver is fried.
I have 4 uniden phones 2 out of the 4 phones work and the other 2 phones when the talk butten is pushed there is no dial tone.

model tru94804802e0406w out of range
this phone does not let me answer or do anything with it. it just say's out of range...
but my other hand set works...how can i get out of out of range... i need both hand set's for my business.
i have the exact same problem it keeps flashing charging and says out of range then when i pick it up it says searching than just turns off.
I just purchased the phones, they worked fine for about a month, then today they both show Searching on the display, and Out of Range when you try to use them ???? Is this an easy fix, or did I buy JUNK ???
Just purchased new Uniden phones. They won't call out displaying "Out of range.
The owners manual is no help whatsoever.
When I push talk, the Uniden phone says out of range. How do I fix it?
The base station works but the additional handpiece says out of range and I've tried de registering it but it won't and there's nothing in the manual about it.
We have a twin Uniden set. The phones are 18 months old. We arrived home after 2 days away, to find the base phone says "out of range". I've unplugged and replugged, checked batteries, cleaned the terminals etc., but nothing has changed. We can't receive or make calls from it. The other one is fine.
Is it fixable?
In the middle of calls the phone beeps & says "Out of range". This is with the unit 3 feet from the base! Most times I can flash over a couple of times & reconnect with my call but occassionally I just lose the call & have to redial. What a rip off!
Once one of my phones displayed Out of Range, after some time I disconnected the battery and replaced it, all fixed. Now several months later all my phones are doing it, and there seems to be nothing I can do.. I've tried everything here with no success. Guess I'll be chosing another brand next time..
I also have t he same out of range problem and the manual is not helpfull in the least since I the hand set is only 2 to 3 feet away from the base amd most of the time on the base. Uniden has changed their contact hours which does not help us in the Pacific Time Zone. I work and when I can call them I am within a half hour of needing to leave and I get off work when they close. I can't sit on the phone all day at work until I get a person to help me. What is the solution here? I am about ready to chuck all Uniden products from the future buying because of the lack of help.
Could be caused by the way the phone handset is held, ie don't put your hand over the back of the phone/antenna, hold it lower down. See http://www.uniden.com.au/RESOURCES_MAIN/... There is a diagram after the following text: Keep the antenna free of obstruction.
When the handset is not in use place the handset in an upright position.
Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal.
Hope this helps.
