I've found this to be a problem with regular phone lines (POTS) and Uniden phones. Uniden phones do not seem to support 90v @ 20hz ringing voltage / frequency. They work fine in every aspect except for ringing. These phones do work well with voip, where you aren't connected to the telephone company and have calls routed over the internet. The boxes that handle the voip calls generally produce less than 90v and work well w/ Uniden phones.

there is a button (intercom) press it or hold then dial 1 check that

there is no code to connect.. the problem must be with the signal, the second phone is not receive the signal.. so it is not working, Plz do rate me;...

Press menu, press global setup, press set day and time. Use volume up/down key and right soft key to go from day of week, hour, minute and am/pm.
