Ge model 28213ee2-a 2nd handset doesnt ring when a call comes in

If the manual didn't come along with the phone, it is easier to just look on google for 'Uniden DECT 1480-3 Black Cordless Phone w/ 3 handsets DECT 6.0, Answering Machine, Caller ID' and it should pop right up!!

Since you didn't specify the model of your Uniden DECT 6.0 system I can only suggest you select it from the list beginning here to download a copy of the manual.

• Did you fully charge your phone? - Make sure you fully charge for 16-24 hours .
  
  
• Is the battery old? - Replace the battery.
  
  
• Is the electrical outlet switch turned on? - If you are using AC (electrical) power, make sure that the unit is connected to a non-switched electrical outlet.
  
  
• Are the connecting wires tight - Unplug the AC power converter from the unit and plug it back in.
  
  
• Do you have Caller ID service with your telephone company - In order to receive Caller ID records, you must subscribe to the standard name and number Caller ID service available through your local telephone company. If the Caller ID works for normal calls but not on Call waiting calls, then you must contact your phone company to get the combined CID/CW service.
  
  
• Caller ID shows up after second ring - Be sure to wait until the second ring before answering. Caller ID signals comes through after the first ring, if caller pick ups phone too soon Caller ID signal will not be transmitted to the handset.
  
  
• Confirm that caller ID is still working on that particular line by checking another phone on the same line - If Caller ID is not coming through contact your phone company provider.
  
  

If this does not fix your problem, contact your authorized Service Center.*

What model Uniden DECT 6.0 phone?

There should be a ringer tone and volume control on the second handset. Sometimes there is a ringer on/off switch on the side of the handset.

If that doesn't work, then there is a possibility that the speaker is broken.

You need to reset the main base and make sure the ringer volume is turned all the way up. Disconnect the power from the back of the main base, press and hold find hs key while reconnecting power until you hear long beep. Should reset base and handset.

I too have the same problem with this phone. It goes out of registration and the caller ID does not work. It works on all the other phones in our house.

Try charging the phone on the main handset - Good luck!

I contacted GE today and they told me how to get the caller ID to work on the additional handsets. You must follow these steps in the exact order given.

#1 - unplug the base phone
#2 - unplug the telephone line from the base phone
#3 - remove the battery packs from the phones
#4 - wait 10 minutes.

reverse the order when assembling. Put battery packs in phones, put the telephone line back in the base phone and lastly plug all phones back in. It takes about another 10 minutes after that before all phones start recognizing caller ID but it now works fine.
