Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Uniden TRU9485-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Answering System with Dual Keypad and Extra Handset
Customer Review: Very poor range
Summary: 2 Stars
Simply No excuse for the fact that the range on this unit is very poor.
A voltage fluctuation burned the base-unit for my old Uniden set - not sure of the model# - but those came free with SunRocket in 2005 - so yes old - and with a stubby antenna on the handsets. But the old Unidens worked like a charm - no problems in any corner of our apartment - loved them.
hence I went for Unidens again - hoping that the new model would be at least as good as the old ones if not better - but NO!
There are lots of "blank spots" in our apt. where the reception just drops ... and even when I'm in range - the sound clarity is suspect ... with occasional clicks and hisses.
Not sure if we got a lemon - but definitely not happy!
And not a biggie but it is sad that the voltage adapter for Uniden is only 120V compliant!!
Customer Review: Good Phone, Terrible Instructions
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this phone after considerable research online--almost all recommending this phone over others. However, I'm not sure that I would agree. It's been a great phone as far as sound quality--no complaints. However, I've owned a lot of phones in my life and I'm a relatively competent person when it comes to technology, but I cannot figure out how, or even if, some of the features work. For instance, the caller ID does not give you a read out of the name of the caller--even if you have them stored in the memory. I can't get the distintive ring features to work. Several of the buttons are counter-intuitive (i.e. try finding the last numbers that called your phone and you'll generally first turn the volume of your phone ringer down!). Bottom line, I wouldn't tell someone not to buy this phone, but I would certainly look around at other models first.Customer Review: Rings only when it WANTS to
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this phone to replace a reliable cord phone. After one week of use, the phone would not ring anymore... that is, none of the two handsets nor the base station would ring when an incoming call was placed. I checked all the connections and all were good. When I tried to call the uniden phone from a another line and a different phone, the uniden would ring ONCE out of six times tried by the other phone. This Uniden cordless phone is a POS... avoid this one! Of course, it is now too late to return it, so I have to throw this away and shop for a new cordless phone. And looking around on Amazon, I havnt found anything that seems reliable. Every cordless phone I've looked at on Amazon has some really scary reviews. Why is it so hard to make a good product? I may just stick with the old cord phone... at least works 100% of the time.Customer Review: POOR for hearing aids..
Summary: 1 Stars
They say it's compatible.. well at first try, I charged it up overnight etc. then went to use it. The buzz/hum was SO bad I could barely hear the person on the other end and I had boxed it all up, ready to return it, but I gave customer service a call. It turns out that there is a 'code' that one has to manually change/turn off the T-coil inside the phones to make them more 'compatible' (i.e. get rid of the buzzing/hum)
So I did that, and yes it did decrease the hum considerably, not completely gone but it did make a diff. Good I think.. that is until I made a call to test it, and the volume control went up.. as far as I could get it to go and it STILL wasn't loud enough, and the hum is still in the background. <sigh>
This really looked like a cool phone, liked the features and I have to return it.
Customer Review: Great features, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
System features and ergonomics are excellent, but, voice quality to the "outside" is mediocre at best. Listening from an outside line, the voice quality sounds like you're speaking through a tunnel or tin can.
I've tried each of the other two handsets at various ranges from the base and virtually no improvement observed.
Incoming conversations through the handsets do sound crystal clear however.
Additionally, it does also seem to be impervious to the wireless WIFI.
So, if your not concerned about out going voice quality this might be the phone for you.
Personally, I'm more than peeved and back to the service center it goes.
Probably more hassle than it's worth and another indicator of just how far Quality Assurance (or lack thereof) has slipped.
