Uniden TRU8885 Cordless Phone Questions & Answers
Deregister lost or broken phones
Some tricks from a helpful Uniden rep:
holding down end+# keys at the same time on the phone for about 10
secs (you will hear a beep) will deregister the handset. If you have a
dead handset and want to deregister it from the base, you have to reset
the base. unplug the phoneline and power. hold down the "delete
message" key, plug power back in. about 10 secs later, you will hear a
long beep (theres a short beep upon powerup as well). At this point all
handsets are deregistred and you will have to reregister them with the
end+# trick. this way when #1 handset is dead, you can make a working
one #1 and get the broken one fixed
BTW, this is a woot warranty, not uniden warranty. however the
uniden rep gave me the number to the people who refurb (rox0rz!) these.
I'll post an update when I finally get ahold of them (and the number if
its actually helpful)
Adding a new handset
You need to register the new handset with the base.
In Global settings De-register the new handset then place it on the main base unit connected. It should then register.
Uniden handset doesn't work
If you replaced it with a working new battery pack. You can test it in another phone. The Battery pins on the phone board could have a poor connection which requires soldering.

Can I add another uniden hand set to a uniden D1680 series
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.

Sync 2 versions of Uniden Dect 6.0 to work off the same base.
Yes, you can join an older and a newer version of Uniden Dect 6.0 cordless phones to work off the same base. Here are the steps to sync them:
- Disconnect the power cord from the base of both phones.
- Take the battery out of each handset.
- Wait for a few minutes.
- Reconnect the power cord to the base of the newer version phone and insert its battery.
- Wait for the phone to register on the base, which should take a few seconds.
- Once the newer phone has registered, repeat steps 4 and 5 with the older version phone.
- The older version phone should now register on the same base.
- Test the phones to make sure they are working properly.
If for some reason the phones do not register on the same base, refer to the instruction manual that came with the newer version phone for further troubleshooting steps.
