Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden Multi-Handset Cordless System telephone. This unit is different from conventional cordless telephones. When the base unit is connected to AC power and a telephone line, it can support up to 4 handsets. Using extra handsets, you can establish a 3-way conference call (2 handsets and an outside line), while two other handsets are making an intercom call. You can now place a fully featured cordless handset anywhere in your home or office where AC power is available to connect the handset chargers.

Note: The illustrations in this manual are intended as a guide and may differ from actual unit.

There are 5 main menu options, (DirectLink Mode, Room Monitor, Handset Setup, Global Setup and System Reset) and submenu options.

Summary of the Main Menu and Submenu

Two Way Communication between the Handsets Anywhere without the Base (DirectLink)

DirectLink Mode allows a pair of handsets to work without the base unit, for direct handset-to-handset communication. Use them at sporting events or while shopping to stay in contact with family members or friends. You must set the two handsets to DirectLink Mode to utilize this feature.

Room Monitor

This feature only works if you have two or more handsets, allowing you to monitor sounds in another room (see page 14 for setup). One handset is placed in the desired room to monitor (acts as remote mic), and the other is placed near listener (remote speaker). This is useful for monitoring child activities.

ABOUT THE MENU OPTIONS

During Global Setup and System Reset, make sure your cordless phone is in standby mode (not in use), and all handsets are within range of the main base unit.
