I have a uniden 3035 + 1 system. I have recorded a message on the phone but the base station picks up and either says remote answer on ao a recorded standarded message of no-one is available to take the call. How do I get the phone to answer with my message when engaged or not answered please

Hello Miriam Taylor,

Listening to the message should be sufficient.

Mine wasn't a real message... I fat fingered the
base trying to INTERCOM to my wife's remote.

As I never intended to use my system as an answering
machine... I deleted it too...

If you look really closely at the 1,2,4 & 5 key on the touch pad of each wireless remote the (play) right arrow seen on the base
is adjacent to the 2 key... Press it...

Delete will be an OPTION above the SOFT keys associated with the menu words on your display... (off & message gone).

Then made sure MY ANSWER FEATURE was "OFF".

You will have to read the manual... (RTM, below).

Message access can be accomplished three ways...
at the Base, at any cordless station... and (off premises)
remotely from anywhere in the telephone network.

Hope this helps...

ELSE RTM.

Which exact model Uniden DECT phone do you have? There are a number of models. Some require you to set up the answering machine from a handset. Other models have a Menu button on the base station, as well. The entire list of DECT phone manuals are here: http://www.uniden.com/scat/dectphones_mnl . They are listed in alphabetical and numerical order. Ignore any digits after the dash in the model number, that indicates the number of handsets in the original package. My experience with Uniden DECT phones includes systems where the menu is accessed from the base like the D3588, http://www.uniden.com/content/ebiz/uniden/resources/ownersmanuals/D3588om.pdf .

The following directions work for the Uniden systems that I have used to set up the . First make sure that the answering system is on at the base station and the phone is in standby. Next press the Menu/Select button and use the Up/Down arrows to navigate to Answering Setup. Press Menu/Select to enter the submenu. Then navigate to the different options in this menu and press Menu/Select to enter them.

To record a greeting message, navigate to Record Greeting. Press Select and wait for the "Record Greeting" response. Speak your greeting clearly (between 2 and 30 seconds) and press Select to Stop the recording. You'll hear the greeting repeated. Press End (on the handset) or Stop/Cancel on the base to interrupt the playback.

Next press the Phone Book button to go back up to the Answer Setup menu. Select Greeting Options to switch greetings (if your model has a default greeting). Use Select to switch between greetings. (Arrow keys to swap; Select to confirm.) Use the Ring Time option to select how many rings before the unit picks up. If you wish to use the answering system when you are away, make sure to set up a Security code and press Select to confirm the code. Make a note of the code. Press End to exit the menu system.

Note: if you have Voicemail from your telephone provider, you will need to ensure that your Uniden phone picks up before the Voicemail service.

I hope this helps.

Hi Jessica,

I would suggest contacting Uniden rather than AT&T. I included their contact information below as well as 3 issues that may be going on here.

Uniden Technical Support
1.800.297.1023
M-F 8:30am-11:45pm CST & 2:30pm-4:45pm CST
Ask a Question: http://mycusthelp.net/UNIDEN/_cs/QuestionAsk.aspx?sSessionID=&

1. Are you getting messages? If not, the voicemail may have set to "Announce Only." This means the Answering system will answer the call, but will not allow callers to leave a message. If so, there may be an LED "A" lit up on your base. You can change this setting in the Answ setup --> record time.

2. Does it occur after a particular number of rings? You can set the voicemail to answer after 2, 4, or 6 rings. This may be the problem.

3. Does the phone ring at all? It is possible the phone is in Silent Mode. You can set silent mode to last anywhere between 1-9 hours or keep it on all the time. If it is set to a particular number of hours, the phone will exit silent mode automatically. If not, you need to hold # to deactivate it. I don't think you can set silent mode to turn on automatically on a schedule, but this is something you could ask Uniden about.

I hope that helps. Good Luck!

Which specific Uniden DECT 6.0 phone do you have? There are a number of them. Uniden has the manuals available here: http://www.uniden.com/bin/venda?ex=co_disp-view&bsref=uniden&scat=dectphones_mnl . Phones are listed in alphabetical and numerical order.

If the answering system is off, turn it on before proceeding to the following steps.

If you are at home, there are usually two methods to access the answering system. Some Uniden phones let you set the outgoing message from the base or the handset. Others will only let you set the message from the handset. (Calling in remotely is more complicated.)

To access the answering system menu from a handset, on some models, push the Mute/Messages button. Then let your current message play or press 5 to stop the recorded announcement. Then either use the up/down arrows to select Record New Greeting (or the number that matches the sub-menu item). It's number 8 on the DECT1480. Then wait for the prompt (tone or "Record Greeting") and then speak into the handset clearly. Press 8 to stop recording and press End to save the message. Press 6 to select the outgoing greeting if a default greeting is available.

On other Uniden DECT phones, press Menu and go to Ans Setup. Then choose the line for the greeting (if it's a multi-line phone) and then select Record Greeting. Press Start, wait for the prompt and then press Stop when done. Press Stop again to save the message. If there is an optional pre-recorded greeting, use the Greeting Option submenu to select the greeting to play. (This applies to the DECT4086.)

From the base, you'll do something similar. However, you should stay about 9" from the microphone while recording. Messages can be between 30 seconds and 3 minutes 30 seconds for most systems.

I hope this helps.

(recording a new greeting during a remote call can be done but consult the manual for details.)

Since you didn't specify the model of your phone, pick it from the list beginning at
http://www.uniden.com/scat/cordlessphones_mnl

You have unheard messages on the voicemail system provided by your telephone company. This system records messages when someone calls while you're already on the phone. Please contact your telephone company for instructions on accessing their voicemail system.

Place the handset in the Base station - NOT the Remote Charger. Wait 10 seconds for the phone to bond with the base station. The display will go on and off twice. Remove and you are on the way. Toy can do this for up to 4 phones I believe.
You will have to do this every time the the lights flicker or go out.

Also, press Menu on the Handset and use the + and - Keys at top to navigate through menu. Use the * key to exit.

TIP: If the lights quickly go off and on and the Answerer seems to be fouled up. Unplug the Base station for 10 seconds and plug it back in. All will be well again.You will have to re-bond the remote phones.

If you're trying to get 5 handsets to work with one base, it won't work. The 4215 can only handle 4 handsets, the base handset plus 3.

When I had to replace the base of my 4 handset system, the base handset still worked. Therefore I had an extra handset which couldn't be used. So I decided to buy another base. Now I have 6 handsets which can be grouped 4,2 or 3,3.

Here is a link to the pdf format owners manual from Uniden for this phone:

Remote Operation
You can check, play, or delete messages, even record a new greeting message from a
remote location (when you are away from home, or from another room using a
handset). Additionally, you can turn on or off your answering system remotely.
Remote access away from home
You can operate your answering system from a remote location using any touchtone
telephone.
1) Call your telephone number and wait for the system to answer. If the answering
system is off, it will answer after about 10 rings and sounds a series of beeps.
2) During the greeting message (or a series of beeps when the answering system is
off), press 0 and enter your PIN code within 2 seconds (see "Setting a PIN Code"
on page 25).
3) The answering system announces the current time and the number of messages
stored in memory. You hear "To play incoming messages, press zero-two. For
help, press one-zero." You will hear a beep.
4) Enter a command within 15 seconds, each command there after must be entered
within 2 seconds. You may select a command from the following chart:
* For the Repeat a Message function, press 0 then 1 within about four seconds to
repeat the previous message, or press 0 then 1 after about four seconds to repeat
the current message.
**For the Memo Record and Greeting Message Record functions, the first time you
enter the corresponding command, the phone starts recording. If you want to
stop the recording, press 0 then 7, 8 or 5.
5) After the command has finished, you hear intermittent beeps indicating that the
system is in the command waiting mode. You may enter another command at this
time from the chart above.
6) When you are finished, hang up to exit the system. The answering system
automatically returns to standby.
