With a complete set of high performance features and expandable functionality, the Uniden TRU9485 offers a full set of convenient options for busy homes. This set includes one handset; the system is expandable to a total of ten. Call Waiting Caller ID includes a 100-station memory (with subscription to local service) that allows names and numbers to be transferred between handsets or moved into the permanent speed dial. DirectLink two-way radio communication is built into each handset, allowing them to function as an in-home intercom system or baby monitor. Redial any of the last three numbers at the touch of a button, activate three-way calls or just enjoy the consistent, clear 5.8 GHz digital signal transmission.
You can transfer incoming calls between the handset and base, and make use of the convenient hands-free design by using the included belt clip and built-in headset jack (headsets available separately). Easily adjust handset and ringer volume levels to your comfort, and set the handset LCD menu to one of three menu languages (English, French, or Spanish). A page button lets you quickly locate the handset if it's strayed under the couch cushions.
A digital answering system is built into the base; call screening and recording are available from the handset as well. The base is wall mountable or sits sturdily on a countertop, giving you plenty of display options, and a total of 20 different ring tones (10 tones, 10 melodies) give you a variety of choices. Uniden provides a one-year warranty covering parts and service.

Good Phone.......2007-11-03
This review is for the Uniden TRU9485 after a little over two months of use. Nice features, including the Do Not Disturb if you don't want to hear the phone ring. Answering machine has worked flawlessly. Sound quality from the speaker is fair to good. Fairly compact on the desk. The only two negatives for me would be that the unit seems flimsy due to the nearly all lightweight plastic construction and, in my opinion, the phone handset should be full size, since the only value I can see for a smaller cordless phone is for one that you carry with you when you travel. These seem to be only minor drawbacks, though. Worth a 5 rating at this point. Longevity remains to be seen.
Like everything about it.......2007-06-19
Have had this phone for about a week and just love it. It's a nice size and is easy to carry around. I bought a Panasonic 2.4mhz last year and that's nice also, but the Uniden is better. Very clear sound and I love that I can turn the ringer off. Haven't used the baby monitor yet, but it's a nice feature. Answering machine is easy to set up and I like that it beeps as well as blinks when there is a message. All in all very good value for the money.
Uniden TRU9485 cordless phone.......2007-05-07
Great phone, no complaints. Clear, very long range, battery lasts for days. Would highly recommend this phone.
Best Cordless I Ever Owned.......2007-04-11
I've had a lot of different cordless phones over the years and I must say this one is the best I've bought. The person who complained on here about the speaker phone on the handset not working or not being loud enough has an isolated problem, a defective handset, or they're deaf! Plenty of volume on the speaker handset. Along with all the other features, I would highly recommend this product.
Best ever cordless landline phone.......2007-04-10
These are the best phones I have ever owned! I actually have TRU9485-4WR, it comes with a "submersible" handset as well as three other handsets with chargers. You can add up to 9 handsets to this system. As reviewed by others, it has the awesome ability of getting your messages at the handsets, and as some others left out, you actually have FULL answering machine control from all the handsets. Includes handy "call screening" option (read manual). Great sound, including the answering machine messages. Also mentioned by other reviewers: You can copy phone books (memory dialer) to other sets & base. But you can also copy just a single entry to other sets. A "copy to all" feature would have been nice, but it only takes a minute or less to copy to each one individually, and the intuitive menu system helps make the process easy.
Setup was quick and easy. I did read the manual, but not entirely, and I would not have to to learn most of the functions if I wanted just a simple basic setup without the phone book entries, and I would have been able to figure out how to program the date & time without the manual easily. I read it to understand some of the more complex settings, and how to open the phone book. You open the phone book by pressing the left 4-way button which is marked - by surface contour only, not colored - with an open book symbol. This may be the only thing you need to know from the manual! I liked all the default option selections that were active on the first powerup, except I changed the 1 minute max time per message to 4 - but I did change the two-digit answering machine security code.
One serious drawback on this system for some people might be it's answering machine limitations: 12 minutes maximum and either 1 (default) or 4 minutes per message limit. But I have not seen more than 15 minutes max total on a digital answering system & cordless handset package, so this is pretty much "on-par" with the rest at this date, I will not remove a star rating for this, but I would if it were 10 stars max.
Also, you probably don't want to wall-mount this system, the base must remain horizontal.
I had a hard time deciding on this purchase because I LOVE to use a headset a lot and want a "belt" clip on my handset, and many packages did not advertise the clip on the package. The 9400 series packages have the clips, but I only noticed it written on the bottom of the package, where I did not look the first time.
I replaced our AT&T 1256 system with this Uniden set. Our AT&T system made an annoying loud "beep" at irregular intervals on the other end, and we would miss just a syllable of the conversation at our end (we did not hear the beep). We did not notice until the warranty was expired. It took us years to finally afford to replace our cordless system. This Uniden set is sooo much better.
Pros:
Full answering machine control, with voice HELP features that tell you what to dial to do what, at all the handsets & call-ins (with code)!
Great sound quality of conversations.
Great sound volume.
Great sound quality of (digital) messages.
Wireless 5.8 GHz does not interfere with 802.11 a, b, g, etc. wireless networks.
Intuitive menus.
Lighted keyboards & LCD backlights help you in dark rooms.
Message waiting flashing LED visible at all handsets.
Entire base LCD flashes when there is a new message.
Great redial: Three-sets of last number dialed remain in memory for re-dial.
Can copy phone books & single phone book entrys to other units & base.
Can copy current number incoming to phone book*.
Room monitor - "Baby monitor" feature, and can set handset to private to disable.
Speakerphone: Other reviewers say it works great - I haven't tryed it.
Conference calling: Multiple handsets all on the group (call) conversation at once.
Headset jack & belt clip included.
Intercom & handset finder.
Intercom will operate without base, directly between handsets.
Instant record of conversations - but it uses message time and beeps at both ends (legally required).
Cons (all these are very minor, unless you need a lot of answering machine message time):
Only 12 minutes of answering machine message time, and only 1 or 4 minute per message limits possible.
Only two-digit answering machine security code.
Range might be a bit low for large houses, reported by other reviewers.
"Mute" label on the LCD ("softkey") is hard to read in a dark room, and the tiny print would be even harder to read for those with weak eyes, but eventually you remember where it is if you use it often.
Lighted keyboard & LCD could stay lit a bit longer.
Base needs button press before lights come on, but flashes LCD when new message.
Belt clips could be better.
*Some reviewers have complained about lack of a "1" prefix added to incoming numbers added to the phone book, but it is easy to insert a "1" there.

Customer Reviews:
So impressed with this system! .......2007-11-05
I just purchased this system about a month ago, but I am so impressed with it. Easy to set up but, I still don't have all the functions down because this system has it all. Great if you have a large house so you can place phones though out and use the handsets to page with the intercom, retrieve messages from the base, room monitor, even ring tones that you can program to certain numbers so you know who's calling before you look at the caller id. We use the waterproof one for outside use and seems to be a heavy duty phone. So far I think this is the perfect set up.

Over a Year and still dependable!.......2007-02-25
Select ringtones
...assign different rings to different numbers
...glow in the dark buttons are a plus to dial by TV light at night
...get your answering machine message from any phone by the touch of a button
...and play these messages for others by passing the receiver to them....my boyfriend never checks
....very small light flashes on each phone extension when you have a voicemail message
...speaker phone from each handheld option...great for when companies put you on hold...leaves your handsfree while you wait
...walkie talkie option from each handheld is nice
...All this for a little over a hundred was worth it for me...and I got 2 more extensions ...at a 2 for one sale at Officemax for $30...they plug into any regular electrical outlet...so I have extensions in rooms I never had them in before...really nice to have one in the garage and basement....no more running for the phone and can call these intercom style ...to talk to boyfriend in garage while he's tinkering around...
