Need help troubleshooting uniden phone.?

Question

I have a uniden phone set (DXI7286-2) and since it has been out of use for a while I am having some trouble with one of the handsets. One of them is working fine, but the other one has no sound. It isnt the battery, we checked that...and it isnt the volume either. The phone will dial out still even though there is no dial tone and you cant hear it ringing when it does. But we tried calling my dads cell phone while he was right there in our kitchen and his phone rang just fine but when he answered we still couldnt hear anything in ours...it sounded like the talk button hadnt even been pressed. Has anyone had trouble similar to this? Any advice would be awesome. Like I said, the phone is working (it will ring when a call comes in, dials out, is being read by the charger...) there is just absolutely no sound. The other handset has no problems. Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

It sounds like you are having problems with the speaker. It's possible a wire is broken to the speaker, which is why all other functions work but no sound. When your dad answered his cell, could he hear your talking? The microphone and speaker are separate, but use the same audio amplifier circuitry, so if could hear you, but you could not hear him, then chances are it's just your earphone speaker is faulty. If both talk and hearing is not functioning, then its more likely a bigger problem that would require a trip to the repair shop, or replace the faulty handset.
