Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Uniden DWX207 DECT 6.0 Waterproof Accessory Handset and Charging CradleCustomer Review: works great after minor frustration Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the Uniden DWX207 DECT 6.0 Waterproof Accessory Handset and Charging Cradle at the same time as the base unit. I definitely understand the frustration other people have experienced with registering the accessory with the primary base unit. Trying to read the instructions that came with the accessory unit was a nightmare. If the unit didn't register the only troubleshooting help was to try the same impossible to understand steps again.
I really was about to throw in the towel and took some time to set up the additional features on the base unit (such as phone book and ring tone) just to take a break from the problem. I was really glad I did. The directions on adding an accessory were much more clear when reading the manual included with the base unit.
First, you have to unplug the base phone (either from the wall or by removing the connection at the base of the cradle). Second, there is a "Find" button on cradle -- you can't see it with the phone in the cradle as it's located on the front of the cradle where the phone would be leaning against it if it was charging. Hold down the find button at the same time as plugging your phone back in. Once that's done hold down the pound button on the accessory phone until it reads that it's registering. Place it in the cradle for the base. Voila -- the phone should register.
Once that step was done everything else was really easy -- you share the phone book through the menu, can easily set up different ring tones for the numbers in your phone book, etc. etc.
As far as the quality of the product, my test was calling my dad. With my previous phone he always complained about hearing static -- with this phone he said he had no problems and that I came across very clear. That was true even after I'd already dropped the handset once.
All in all I'm happy with my purchase. It's not the best looking phone but I knew that when buying it -- I wanted something that was sturdy, not overly expensive, and something without a lot of features (such as an answering machine) that I didn't need. This definitely works for me!
Description of Uniden DWX207 DECT 6.0 Waterproof Accessory Handset and Charging CradleUNIDEN ACCESSORY HNDST DECT 6.0 Water Proof Compatible with all Uniden DECT 6.0 digital expandable systems, the Uniden DWX207 set includes a waterproof accessory handset and charging cradle. The handset meets JIS7 waterproof specifications, which means it can be submersed in up to one meter (3.28 feet) of water for 30 minutes without damage. This system is also impact and dust resistant, so it can truly stand up to wear and tear. For smooth, dependable operation, the DWX207 utilizes DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) 6.0 technology for interference free reception. Additionally, the high visibility message waiting indicator lets you know immediately after you've received a message, and the caller ID/call waiting features display the name and number of the caller in call waiting even when you're already on the phone. (Note: to activate the caller ID features, you must subscribe through your telephone company.) The advanced phonebook feature stores up to 70 names and offers alphabetical search capabilities, and you can choose among several unique ringers and assign them to specific callers so you'll know who's calling before you pick up the phone. There's even a "Do Not Disturb" feature that assures you won't be interrupted whenever you need a little extra peace and quiet. For added convenience, the DWX207 is expandable up to six headsets. About DECT Technology Advanced DECT 6.0 technology, or Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications, operates on the newly released 1.9 GHz frequency band that was recently allocated to support cordless telephony. Uniden DECT 6.0 incorporates unique "listen before transmit" technology that avoids interference with many household products, such as baby monitors, microwaves and WiFi (which operate on frequencies like 2.4 GHz). As a result, DECT phones offer consumers enhanced voice clarity and crystal clear digital sound quality. DECT 6.0 technology also offers higher security and voice protection, as well as a longer battery and battery standby life than existing 2.4 GHZ or 5.8 GHz phones. The DWX207 is backed by a one-year limited warranty. What's in the Box Cordless handset, charging cradle, AC adapter, rechargeable battery, belt clip, and user's manual.
