Product Description

Add an additional accessory handset to your current DECT phones with the DCX150 by Uniden. The DCX150 is compatible with the DECT 1500, 2000, 2100, 2900 or 3000 cordless phone series including the WXI2077 Waterproof Cordless Phone (some features may not be supported when combining models). The DCX150 cordless phone is packed with time-saving features that help you better manage your calls. It features a large display screen and orange backlit keys which make it a snap to dial the correct number or access features, even in low-light conditions. The phonebook feature stores up to 70 names with an alphabetical search, unique ringers you can assign to specific calling parties and an option to transfer either a single listing or the entire phonebook. The bilingual menus in both English and Spanish guide you through every step so you can take full advantage of the 10 full hours of talk time per battery charge. 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars WHAT TO DO IF YOU CAN'T REGISTER THE PHONE TO THE BASE UNIT, September 30, 2010

This review is from: Uniden Accessory Handset for DECT Phones (DCX150) (Office Product)

I have had Uniden phones for years and they just don't quit, so I purchased the DECT 6.0 base unit w/2 phones as an upgrade since my phone service was changing to VOIP and my older Uniden phones wouldn't work with it. When I purchased the accessory phone, I could NOT get it to register. Emailed and got some suggestions, none of which worked. Finally called the tech support line (I didn't have to wait long at all as opposed to other reviews I've read). Here's what she told me to do, and it WORKED. (again, obviously, make sure the accessory phone is fully charged).

* Remove the base unit's phone from its cradle.
* Unplug the power from the base unit.
* press and hold the FIND button on the base unit, then, while continuing to hold down the FIND button, plug in power again. The CHARGE light should then be flashing. You can release the FIND button.
* press and hold the # (pound) key on the accessory phone you are attempting to register to the base unit and hold this phone OVER and NEAR the cradle/charging prongs until the phone goes through the registration process. (again, don't set the accessory phone in the unit, but just hold it near the unit).

This FINALLY worked.

Uniden needs to add this info to their product manuals so that this isn't such a frustrating process.

I had the previous version of this phone in a house with teenagers and I was pleased that the batteries lasted 5+ years. I am planning on using this set for 6+ more! I bought the set of 3 and added 2 more, now we each have one! It was a very good price at Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice additional handset, March 14, 2010

I was looking for additional handsets for my DECT2080-2 base unit and came across the DCX150.

Things I like:
- A bit bigger than the DCX200 and fits nicely in your hand
- Thicker phone makes it easier to hold against shoulder with no hands
- Orange backlighting is easier to read than the blue on the DCX210.

Things I don't like:
- NiCad 500mAh battery (BT-1007)
-- DCX210 is about the same physical size phone and features, but has a NiMH battery.
- Battery is not compatible with other Uniden handsets since it is AA based instead of AAA based
- No headset jack
- No beltclip

I am not sure if it is the phones or my TMobile@Home, but I had to manually set the clocks on each handset. I don't remember doing this on the original handsets, but I had a regular POTS line back then and just don't remember. This phone really adds nothing new or special over a DCX200 other than just being a bit bigger. I have DCX150, DCX200, DCX210, and DCX300 handsets all paired to the same base station.
