When I put either phone on the main base, the "charge/in use" light does not come on and when I push the "talk" button, if just gives two beeps. I have tried cleaning all the contacts. Also the page button does not work. The charge light does come on when either phone is put on the other unit. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, the EXI5560 is not an expandable cordless telephone system. The base can only use the handset to which it was originally linked at the factory.

Similarly, the DXA15588 handsets need to be paired to that base, not just to any Uniden cordless phone base. The first handset gets registered while it is charging in the main base. Charge the second handset fully in the charging base. Make sure not to use the phone for any incoming calls during the registration process. Take the first handset off the main base. You do not have to put this handset on the other charger and put second handset on the main base. Wait for the Charge/In Use LED to begin to flash. Wait at least another 5 seconds before removing the second handset from the main base. That's when you should be able to use the find HS button on the DXA15588-2 main base to get both handsets to beep.

I hope this helps. You can find the manuals for these phones at the following sites: https://www.uniden.info/download/ompdf/EXI5560om.pdf and https://www.uniden.info/download/ompdf/DXAI5588-2om.pdf .

When you press talk, there should only be 1 beep. This is to confirm that the Talk button has been pressed. If it beeps multiple times, this means the phone is not communicating with the main base station, or the battery is low or dead.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_69f3cc28d95bf514

Hi.

The calls are being placed on waiting, try using Flash button before using Talk.


Test the chance on a different phone line , the most likely is that the phone is defective.

If the phone is working on a different line, then it is a configuration problem, and the phone is waiting for a manual call transfer from a different phone in your network.


Try using Flash button instead of Talk, this will answer the call if there is a waiting service programmed.

Try testing with no other phone connected.

Finally try resetting the phone, use procedure below:

• 1. Make sure the phone power is ON (but not in the “talk” mode by pressing the PWR button.
• 2. Use the arrow buttons to scroll through the main menu until Handset setup is flashing.
• 3. Press the SELECT button. A second menu shows on the display.
• 4. Use the arrow buttons to scroll to Reset phone.
• 5. Press SELECT.
• 6. Use the arrow buttons to change NO to YES.
• 7. Press SELECT to confirm.

If after resetting the calls are still being placed on hold, then again, the phone may be faulty.

Here a manual for your phone.

try connecting both phones via the base that is working and see if they recognize each other. Let me know if that works.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to help with your problem.

The "ringer off' message on the base display is referring to the ringer on the "base" unit not the phone ringers. Your phone handset(s) will still ring even when the base ringer turned off.

To turn the ringer on the base back on press and hold push the ^ symbol on the base until it beeps two times, To turn the base ringer off, press and hold the v symbol until the unit beeps.

If my information has proven to be of help, please give me good rating. Thanks for using FixYa!

Handset can not link.
• If any handsets become inoperable, place it on the main base cradle for 20 seconds to re-register.
No dial tone
• Check or repeat installation steps
• Make sure the base power cord is connected to a working electrical outlet.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is connected to the base unit and the modular phone jack?
• Disconnect the base from the wall phone jack and connect another phone to the same jack. If there is no dial tone on the second phone, the problem might be your wiring or local service.
• The handset might be out of range of the base. Move closer to the base.
• Make sure the battery is properly charged (for 16 hours).
• Ensure the battery pack is installed correctly.
• Did the handset beep when you pressed the TALK/CALL BACK button? Did the in use indicator come on? The battery may need to be charged.

The handset/base keeps a record of who it’s registered to. The base also keeps a record of how many handsets are registered to it.

Using the de-register function on the handset deletes the handset from the base (decrements the count) and deletes the base info from the handset. All this requires that the base and handset can communicate with each other.

To remove the base data from a handset when out of range of the base, press and hold the ‘end’ button and the ‘#’ button simultaneously until the phone beeps. It will now be de-registered from the base.

However, the base will still have this handset in it’s record.

To de-register all handsets from the base, remove power and the base handset. Press and hold the ‘flash/find hs’ button while applying power. Wait for the beep and release the button. The charge light will now flash. Sit any handset in the cradle. When the flashing stops, all handsets are inhibited from connecting.

However, the handset still appears to be connected to the base unit. Pressing talk will give an ‘Unable to connect’ message. To re-register the handsets to the base, you have to de-register the handset first with the two button method.

Of interest, pressing ‘*’ and ‘#’ on the handset while reconnecting the battery is suppose to reset the handset. Doing the same on the base unit puts you in some sort of diagnostic mode. Press speaker to exit.

no you need a new battery. Hope this helped you

My handset does not connect to the base station. It flashes momentarily, but does not find the base. The base station has a humming noise when the phone line is disconnected and the talk button is depressed. Hum is also present when the phone line is reconnected. The problem was resolved by replacing the 9VDC power supply. The hum disappeared and the handset immediately connected to the base.

To register the handset:

1. make sure phone is charged
2. hold down the "mute/program button on the phone 10 seconds.
3. you should see a message on the screen that says you need to push the "pager button" on the handset.
4. Push the pager button
