20 Most Recent Uniden DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone System D1788-2 - Black/Silver - Page 9 Questions & Answers

first thing - don't do what I did - I pulled out somehow my printer /scanner network ethernet cable when putting in a network switch ! So Check the power cord for the DECT 6.0 base unit has not come out when you were installing the wireless printer . and also Check the tel line cord is plugged into wall and base unit. Check frequency used by cordless is not 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz as it might interfere with Wireless printer radio frequency.

No it won't work through metal walls. look into leaky coax as a way around the metal walls http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/leaky-feeder http://www.smcelectrical.com/runtime/cms.run/doc/English/1359/_mediathek_images_4656.jpg_Leaky_Feeder_Cable.html

Uniden has the manual for the EXAI2980 here: https://www.uniden.com/File%20Library/FooterNav/Product%20Information/Owners%20Manuals/exai2980om.pdf . Do you need to adjust the ringer volume of the base, the handsets or both? To set the ringer volume of the base, start with the phone in standby mode (no calls being made or received) then press Menu 4 times (the right-hand button in the row above the volume up/down buttons). You should hear the current ring volume and see it displayed on the LCD screen. Press Set (the left-hand button in the row above the volume buttons). Press Skip/FF or Repeat/RR (the buttons on either side of the Play button below the LCD screen) until the desired ring volume level is displayed. Press Set to save the setting. Press Play/Stop to exit the menu system. See page 38 of the manual (page 40 of the PDF above) for the directions. To adjust the handset ringer volume, press the handset volume up or down buttons with the phone in standby. The last chosen ringer tone and volume will be saved. See page 16 (page 18 of the PDF). Sometimes, the handset will not ring after losing the security code that pairs it to the base. Remove the handset from the base. Press and hold Page on the base (between Set and Menu). While the handset is sounding the paging tone, replace the handset in the base. Leave the handset in the base until the flashing stops (more than 5 seconds). See page 47 of the manual. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

try putting it in a container with dry rice to remove the moisture inside the device. OR try using the drying packets you get in pill containers (sodium dioxide I think from memory)
