Uniden DSS5805 User Manual

Welcome

Congratulations on your purchase of this Uniden DSS5805 optional
handset and charger. This additional handset is for use with the
Uniden DSS5855 base. You can place a fully featured cordless handset
anywhere in your home where AC power is available to connect the
handset charging cradle. The original base will support up to 2
handsets (the original handset and one DSS5805 handset).

The DSS5805 will not be an alternative of the original handset,
if the original handset is damaged.

Important

The DSS5805 will not operate unless it has been registered to a
Uniden DSS5855. Before the additional handset can be used, the
battery must be charged and it must be registered with the base.

This manual describes only the instructions specific to the
additional handset. For detailed operation, refer to the owner’s
manual supplied with the original unit.
