How do you register a waterproof phone (TWX977) to a TRS9585

Not stating the model number of your phone makes it a bit difficult because the process is not the same on all models. I am going to deal with the cordless main base only Remove any handset from the main base cradle. Then
On the waterproof handset Press and Hold the # sign until the Registering handset option shows then release it.Then on the main base, Press and Hold the FIND hs or Find or locator button for 5 seconds ( if there is no IN USE light on the base) or until the IN USE light come on, then release it. Hold the handset near the base and it will register.
Please note the Uniden waterproof handset could be a bit tricky to register and not knowing the model makes it more difficult. and you may have to apply other methods.

Welcome to FixYa.

1. Turn OFF your handset (TWX977) and any other handset registered to the base (9466).
2. Unplug the base from its power source.
3. Unplug the phone line from the base.
4. Wait for 15 mins.
5. Plug back the power source and the phone line.
6. Turn ON the handset (TWX977)
7. Reset the handset (TW977) by doing the following:

• Press the MENU soft key. Select the DEREGISTRATION submenu.
• ARE YOU SURE? appears. Move the cursor to select YES. Press the OK soft key.
• To clear other handset information, please follow these steps:
• From the handset, press and hold [ ] and [#] for more than 5 seconds. Select the DEREGISTER HS submenu.

• DEREGISTER HS appears. Move the cursor to select YES. Press the OK soft key.
• ARE YOU SURE? appears. Move the cursor to select YES, and then press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.

8. Register the handset by doing the following:

Hi,

please follow the instruction to register the handset to base

To register a DCX150 accessory handset:

2.Place the handset in the base cradle for about thirty seconds. Handset Registering will appear in the LCD.
3.When the handset has registered to the base, the LCD will display Registration complete then show the handset ID number.

If the display shows Registration failed, repeat the process again.

4.When the handset has registered to the base, the LCD will display Registration complete then show the handset
ID number.

If the display shows Registration failed, repeat the process again.

This phone uses inductive charging because of the waterproof feature. I suggest that you remove the
battery cover from the back of the handset, unplug
the battery, and then plug it back into the handset.
This solution worked for me.

Up to 6 handsets can be registered to
the base unit.

I went through this exercise with a Siemens Gigaset 8800. The solution is to DE-register the handset first. Then register it with your base. This function can likely be accessed in the handset menu. The phone you purchased is apparently still registered to the previous user's base.

You need to de-register the broken handset then add (register) the new handset:

I can vouch for the second solution. It worked perfectly on my 2461 with two extensions. Even the vTech website was not able to provide a solution.
