We have an older Uniden cordless telephone-Model #EXI7960 that seems to have a very soft ring tone. How can we increase the volume of the ring? Also, is there an owners manual on-line for download?

Without the model number of your Uniden phone, I don't know which silencing feature you are dealing with.

Some Uniden handsets have a Silent Mode. To toggle this on and off, press and hold the # key (below 9) for 5+ seconds when the phone isn't in use. When the silent mode is enabled, the handset will ask for a length of time for the 'no-ring' option. If no key is pressed, then the Silent Mode will continue until the # key is held again.

Other Uniden phones have Do Not Disturb. The button to enable/disable this will be on the cordless phone base. The answering system will automatically turn on and none of the handsets will ring when this feature is enabled.

You can also set the ringer volume to zero. Depending on the phone, you can reset this by pressing the volume up/down buttons or going through the menu. Look for the Ringer Volume in the same section of the menu as the Ring Tone options.

If you need additional information, please add a comment with the model of your phone. I hope this helps.

To increase the ring volume, press the up-arrow button.
You can also change the ring tone using the Ringer Tones option in the setup menu.
If you need a manual, you may download a copy here.

You can increase the ringer volume from the menu ... by the way Uniden DECT 6.0 Cordless phone basically have very low ring volume ,,, try using an extra ringer which is very cheap or you can make your self ... A simple circuit diagram available on http://www.electronics2day.com/index_files/Page790.htm

Since you neglected to 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.

In most cases the ringer has been inadvertently turned off or too low. You can turn it back on from the system menu and can also try by increasing the volume control while the phone is idle.

need model number to answer your question, but you can download the manual here

If it is like mine....push on one of the volume buttons (up or down,doesn't matter) and the phone will ring. WHILE IT RINGS, push the button again and it should scroll to the next ring option. Keep pushing WHILE it rings to scroll through the ring options.

Since you declined to specify the model of your Uniden DECT 6.0 phone I can only suggest you select it from the list beginning here to download a copy of the manual. The manual will describe how to change the ringer volume.

Without the exact model it is difficult to find the manual.

Here the manual for 900 series/996:Uniden EZI996.

I also quote from manual:
