How to Fix the Bell Symbol with a Diagonal Line on Uniden DECT Handsets?

Understanding the Issue: Bell Symbol with a Diagonal Line

When your Uniden Premium DECT handset displays a bell symbol with a diagonal line through it, this indicates that the ringer is muted or that the handset is set to "Silent Mode." This setting prevents the phone from ringing on incoming calls, which can be inconvenient if you are expecting an important call.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with troubleshooting, ensure:

• The handset is charged and powered on.
• The base unit is connected to a working phone line.
• You have access to the user manual for reference, if needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Resolve the Issue

2. Navigate to the Audio Settings
