Uniden DECT 6.0 Cordless Telephone Expansion Handset Logo
Posted on Jun 24, 2008

Phone says "Searching" and will not work.

I have a 2 phone set of Uniden DECT 6.0 phones, the one on the main base usually says "Searching" and when I press the call button, it makes three quick beeps and says "Out Of Range". The phone on the secondary base charger thing works just fine, though.

    I have the dect 3080-3 it they all say searching. Even the one on the base. I tried resetting the phones by unplugging everything, phone line, power, and removing the batteries. It worked ok for half a day, now it's back to searching.

My handset says "searching" and doesn't have a dialtone. I tried a Basic Reset and it didn't help.

If it is flashing "searching" This usually means that the handset is not able to connect to the main Base unit connected to your phone line.

Uniden phone stuck at searching, not getting a dial tone

One thing to try is deregestering your phone and registering it with the base again.

Hole the # and 'End' key on the handset until the next menu appears (about 5 seconds). Select deregister phone (use the 'Menu' button). Do it again, but select "base unavailable". After that, set them in the base (not the handset charger) and they should register with the base.

This works on most Uniden model phones.

We just bought a new uniden phone system and the Answering Machine keeps answering the phone after 2 rings. I set the base machine setting to answer after 6 rings but it didn't change.

If you have changed the setting on the base station and that did not work, power your base station off completely and try again if that does not work you have an out of box defect and need to exchange it.

Handset won't connect to base unit

Try placing the handset in the base unit to register it. Then see if it is found by the base.

Phone not working

Searching means the phone can't find the base.

Make sure you registered each phone on the base.

If you have done this already, and are sure that the baseunit cradle has power, I'd return them as they are probably defective.
