20 Most Recent Uniden TRU9480 Cordless Phone Questions & Answers

I too purchased an Uniden phone for India. Everything except the caller ID works fine. The caller ID wont work as the technology used in India is different. Try purchasing a FSK to DTMF converter or a separate caller ID box.

Are you trying to get the messages from the phone directly or by calling into your phone.

If the answering system is on, then you can play back the messages from the base by pressing the Play/Stop button.To delete a message from the base, press the Delete button (has a 0 with a slash through it) while the message is playing. To delete all messages, press the Delete button when the phone is in standby. From the handset press the Messages softkey (has an envelope icon) when the phone is in standby. Then press Play/2 to play back the messages. To delete a message, press Delete/4 while it is playing. (Deleting all messages can only be done at the base.)

If you are calling into your phone system, you need to have set a two-digit PIN from either the base or the handset and remember it. Then call the number for your phone from a touch tone phone, press 0 and then the PIN within 2 seconds. (Do this while your greeting is playing or after a series of beeps when the phone answers your call after 10 rings if the answering system was off.) If the system is off, start by pressing 0 6 to turn it on. Press 0 2 to play back the messages. (All commands need to be entered within 15 seconds of the last command finishing with both keys pressed within 2 seconds.) To delete a message, press 0 4.

Uniden has the manuals for most of their phones on their support site: http://www.uniden.com/scat/cordlessphones_mnl . Phones are listed in numerical and alphabetical order; thus the TRU9480 manual is on page 7. The direct link to the TRU9480 is http://www.uniden.com/content/ebiz/uniden/resources/ownersmanuals/TRU9480om.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Here are two supported AC Adapters for DSS7855 series,
1. Ebay
2. Batteryshack
Both are from the same seller at different online stores.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if you need further help.
Good Luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.

check for poweer on the base or the adapter

They do not sell replacement parts for these, you will need to replace the whole unit. Sorry :(

I found this elsewhere:
I've fixed this by taking the phone apart, finding where the pressure pads are under the button. I glued a small piece of aluminum foil on to where the pressure pad is. Aluminum foil is a good electrical conductor. It's a delicate process. I don't recommend doing this unless you know what you're doing. But if your handset is already dead/useless, give it a try. Put everything back together and the buttons work again.

Hi,when a phone does not come on, it is either the battery of the phone is dead,
might need to be charge or replaced with another battery.

you can use another battery to test if it is the battery the fault.

The other thing to check is if the phone memory is weak and may need to be restored
back the phone memory.
will need to be flashed.

Take care.

You can download the manual at http://uniden.com/pdf/TRU9480om.pdf

The handset displaying the message may have lost its memory of the base station. Take it over to the base station and reset it as when you first associated the handset with the base.

I hope this helps.
