Troubleshooting
For static on only one handset or in a specific location: For static on more than one handset:
Check nearby for one of the common interference
sources.
Try moving the handset away from a suspected
source, or try moving the suspected source so it’s not
between the handset and the base.
•
•
Check near the base for the source of interference.
Try moving the base away from a suspected source,
or try turning off the source if possible.
If you have any services that might use your phone
line, see if you need a filter on the phone line.

Installing a telephone line filter or DSL filter
Any broadband Internet service that uses your telephone
line might interfere with standard phones. The most common
type of these services, DSL, often causes static on your
telephone. Fortunately, an easy-to-install filter removes this
static from the line. Technicians who install DSL service
usually leave several filters for the customers; if you can’t
find them, call your DSL provider or look in any electronics
store.
Just plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and then
plug your phone’s base into the filter. Make a test call to
make sure the noise is gone.
Resetting the Handset
You may need to reset your handset in the following instances:
You lose a handset and purchase a new one.
You get the message Registration Failed when you try to register the handset.
You are unable to register any handsets to the base.
When you register new handsets to the base, the handset IDs do not match. (For example, the handset registers
as “Handset #4” but you only have two handsets.)
When you are instructed to by one of Uniden’s call center representatives.
