I had to replace it. Phone was in good condition except the battery was bad. Once replaced it worked like a charm.
Both lines show up on the handset.It's also worth noting that this phone is completely sealed- the battery compartment is behind a screw door, initial battery connection is done by pushing a one-use button on the bottom of the phone. It's also compatible with 2-line base stations, I use mine with a TRU9466 base kit. This however also means that it can only charge in the included base, which is NOT waterproof.However this phone is great for what it does- a waterproof extension to an existing Uniden TRU system, or as a single standalone waterproof phone This phone internally is one of the standard Uniden TRU-series 5.8GHz phones, and is thus compatible with a great many Uniden bases. If you already have a compatible Uniden base, you can pair the phone with that, and use the included yellow base solely as a charging bay. It uses an inductive charger, so there are no exposed charging pins on the phone.
Kind of hard to remember in a 4,000 sq ft house. This phone then became my Bed/Bath #1-phone (in my phone registry) as it is too big to register in the base of the my existing system. The Uniden website said this was a compatible phone to my existing system. It is THICKER then the regular phones already in my 5.8 system; and it has its own base which requires a telephone line connection to its base. This is my only regret with this phone besides requiring a phone line to its base.
So when you have Direct link or monitoring or paging , you must return to the base of this unit, not the base of your existing 5.8 phone system. I was looking for a phone to survive in the humid environment of my shower & possibly my steam room. Forgetaboutit.Happy to say that it works fine for the times that I need it. to add phones I must now register with this phone. (Don't have a pool). Bought this phone to add onto my existing Uniden 5.8 phone system.
Plus I don't talk on the phone when I am in the Jacuzzi. Not register this phone to my existing system which has my answering system and other 6 phones.
All the other features of this phone are great. I find the length of the battery life to be extremely poor (less than 3 days). The speakerphone is louder than my Panasonic was. It has never gotten wet. A less-than-average cordless. My previous cordless, a Panasonic, could go for two (2) weeks without having to worry about returning it to its charging cradle.
But keeping this Uniden in the charge cradle is a real drag. Within the last month I purchased a new cordless phone, model WX1477. It has never even been close to being wet. It looks gorgeous.
I have thrown my other phone over 50 feet onto concrete and it still works perfectly. This phone is great. I bought this one because I have 2 lines at my car shop.
