This series features AutoTalk and AutoStandby. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing the handset from the cradle so you don't have to waste time pushing buttons. Auto Standby

allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the cradle.

To protect you against mis-billed calls that might result from your phone being activated by other equipment, this series has Random Code digital security, which automatically selects one of more than 10,00 0,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Digital Spread Spectrum Technology uses a wider frequency band than standard digital transmissions. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones.

IntegriSound Built in sound quality which provides life-like conversations.

With DirectLink mode, you can use 2 or more handsets as radio transceivers (walkie-talkies). Be sure to visit our web site: www.uniden.com.au or www.uniden.co.nz

Terminology

• Standby Mode - The handset is not in use, and talk/flash or speaker has not been pressed. No dial tone is present.

• Talk Mode - The hand set is not in the cradle, and talk/flash or speaker has been pressed, enabling a dial tone. Talk appears on the display.

Soft Key Function

"Soft" keys are keys that change function during the operation of the phone. There are three soft keys on each handset.

Soft Keys allow you to:

 

 

- Access the main menu

- Access stored Caller ID messages

- Set up CIDCW options

-

Redial one of the last three numbers dialed from the handset

- Store or edit phone numbers

-

Access Voice mail waiting

Note: The soft keys will not appear while the handsets charging.

The function of each soft key is determined by the icon that appears directly above it. For example, when the handset is in standby mode, pressing soft key 1 will redial the last dialed number. When the handset is in talk mode, pressing soft key 1 will mute the microphone.

Complete information on the features controlled by the soft keys can be found under each feature.

For maximum range:

Keep the antenna free of obstruction.

When the handset is not in use place the handset in an upright position.

Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal.

Setting up the Phone

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location

B. Connect the base unit

C. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset D. Connect the charger

E. Mount the base unit on a wall

A. Choose the best location

Here are some important guidelines you should consider:

Avoid heat sources, such as radiators, air ducts, and sunlight

Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment

Choose a central location

Avoid noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic

Avoid microwave ovens

Avoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock

Avoid personal computers

Avoid other cordless telephones

[9]

B. Connect the base unit

1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 240VAC wall outlet. Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply (i.e., an outlet that is not controlled by a switch).

2) Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the base unit. Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily.

3) Make sure that the charge LED illuminates. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that

the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the base charging

contacts.

4) After install the battery pack in the handset, charge your handset for at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line.

5) Once the handset battery pack is fully charged,

connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and to a telephone outlet. If your telephone

outlet isn't modular, contact your telephone company for assistance.

[10]

Use only the supplied [AAD041S] AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.

Do not place the power cord where it creates a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.

STARTED GETTING

Use only the Uniden (BT-446) rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone.

Replacement battery packs are available. See our website for information. www.uniden.com.au www.uniden.co.nz

C. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack.

The battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit. To maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack,

DO NOT plug the telephone cord into the base unit and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.

1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.

2) Turn the battery pack so that the connector with the

red and black wires is near the jack inside the battery compartment. Match the connector's wire colors to the

polarity label in the battery compartment (the connector notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one way). Push the battery pack connector into the jack until it clicks into place.

3) Make sure you have a good connection by gently pulling on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery jack will remain in place.

4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.

STARTED GETTING

Direct wall mounting

If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.

Try to mount your phone within 1.5m of a working phone jack to avoid excessive lengths.

Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.

Use #10 screws (minimum length of 35mm) with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.

1)Insert two mounting screws into the wall (with their appropriate anchors). 100mm apart. Allow about 3mm between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

2)Refer to steps 1 through 7 on page 12 to mount the telephone.
