Uniden 1660 User Manual
Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most sophisticated and versatile cordless
telephone systems available. To enjoy the best performance from the UNIT’s many features,
please read this Owner’s Guide carefully and save it for future reference.
INTRODUCTION TO YOUR
MULTI-HANDSET SYSTEM TELEPHONE
The unit is different from conventional cordless telephones. The base unit, when connected to
AC power and a telephone line, can support the operation of up to eight handsets. You can now
place a fully featured cordless handset anywhere in you home or office that you have AC power
to connect the handset chargers.
Since the system and the adjunct handsets (available separately) are system telephones, you
can enjoy advanced telephone features like handset to handset intercom and call transfer.
The system Directory holds up to 80 names and phone numbers, and can be accessed from any
of the handsets. All of your commonly dialed numbers can be quickly retrieved for easy, onetouch dialing.
2.4 GHz FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) technology offers extended range, clarity
and digital security. A belt clip and headset jack (2.5 mm) provide handsfree convenience when
used with an optional headset.

INITIAL SETUP
SELECTING A LOCATION FOR THE BASE UNIT
The base unit needs AC power and connection to a telephone jack. This location should be as
central as possible in your home or office.
SELECTING A LOCATION FOR ADDITIONAL HANDSETS
Anywhere you have power will do! Avoid high humidity or high heat areas, and keep the
handsets out of extended exposure to direct sunlight. Handsets can be swapped in their
chargers at any time and can be placed anywhere within the extended transmission range of the
base.
OPERATING DISTANCE/NOISE INTERFERENCE
For optimal performance, your phone's base unit should be installed as follows:
Away from electrical appliances
such as a microwave oven, TV,
personal computer, or another
cordless phone.
In a HIGH and CENTRAL location with
no obstructions nearby.
INSTALL THE BASE UNIT
Plug the line cord into the “TEL LINE”
jack on the back of the base unit and
1
the other end into your telephone wall
jack.
Connect the AC adapter to the back of
the base unit and plug into an electric
2
outlet.

NOTE:
While using the handset:
■ If you are near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard at the receiver.
Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit.
■ If more than one cordless phone is being used and your handset is near another cordless
phone's base unit, noise may be heard. Move away from the other cordless phone's base unit
and closer to your base unit.

AREA CODE
It is only necessary to enter your area code if
you choose the “Smart Dial” method for
dialing from Caller ID records (see “Dialing
Mode” section). The Smart dialing method
will compare the area code of the Caller ID
number to your local area code to determine
whether to dial 7 digits or 11 digits.
NOTE:
■ Area Code programming will ONLY display when
“Smart Dial” is selected as the Dialing Method. If
any other method is selected, the Area Code
programming option will be hidden. Once the Area
Code has been set, it will remain in the system’s
memory, even if the option is hidden.

DIALING MODE
When dialing from Caller ID records, the
unit can use one of the following four dialing
methods:
A) 7/10/11 Digit Dialing – For each call,
the unit will prompt you to choose
7-digit, 10-digit, or 11-digit dialing, based
on the local telephone company’s
requirements. This system is useful in
areas that sometimes require the user to
dial 10 or 11 digits for local dialing. When
dialing from a Caller ID record, the LCD
will display your choice of 7, 10, or 11
digits. Press “1” to initiate dialing using 7
digits, Press “2” for 10 digits, or Press “3”
for 11 digits.
B) All 11 Digit Dialing (Always 11)– For
each call, the unit will dial 11 digits (a “1”
and the area code, followed by the 7 digit
number).
C) Smart Dialing – For each call, the
unit will look at the Caller ID phone
number to see if the area code of the
number matches your local area code
(Note- this feature requires you to enter
your area code – see “Programming Area
Code”). If the area code does match, the
unit will dial only 7 digits. If it does not
match, the unit will dial 11 digits.
D) Exact Dialing – The unit will always dial
the exact digits that are displayed in the
Caller ID record.
