Entering Text on Your Phone
When you want to enter text into your phone (for example, a name

The phone enters the letters in the order they appear on the key.
For example, if you press the number key
enters the letter A. Press 2 twice for B, and three times for C.
If you press the key again after the last letter, the phone starts the
same letter sequence with small letters. If you press
in a row, the phone enters a (small letter). Press 2 five times for b,
and six times for c.

then capital letters.

any letter right after a space; all other times, it uses small letters.

Using Multi-Station Features
The expandable base works together with the accessory handsets
to give you some useful multi-station features. (A station can be any
cordless handset or the base.) You must have at least one accessory
handset to use the features in this section.
Expanding Your Phone
Your base supports a total of six AS116 accessory handsets,
including any that were supplied with your phone.
Your base might be compatible with other Uniden accessory
handsets; please visit our website for a list of compatible handsets.
Accessory handsets must be registered to the base before you
can use them. Handsets that aren't registered display a
not registered
message. For instructions on registering handsets to
this base, see page 27 or the manual for the accessory handset.
Any accessory handsets that came packaged with the base are
already registered to that base for you.
If a handset was previously registered to a base, you have to reset
it so you can register it to a new base (see page 27 or the manual
for the accessory handset).
Using Conference Calling
When an outside call comes in, the base
and two cordless handsets can join in a
conference call with the outside caller.
To join the call, just pick up the base
corded handset or press

the other station remains connected to the call. (You can also use the
speakerphone for a conference call, just like you can with a normal call.)

Using Special Features
Using Your Phone During a Power Failure
Because it includes a corded handset, your phone can perform
several of its functions during a power failure. The following features
will operate during a power failure (all other features are disabled):
Making and receiving calls with the base corded handset.
Changing the volume on the corded handset.
Using Call Waiting on a base corded handset call.
Entering pauses when dialing from the base corded handset.
While the power is out, the base uses a special ringer; you
cannot adjust the volume of this ringer.
Chain Dialing
If you often have to enter a series of digits or a code number
during a call, you can save that code number to a phonebook
entry and use the phonebook to send the code number.
Enter the code number (up to 20 digits) into the phonebook just
like a regular phonebook entry. Be sure to enter the code number
into the phonebook exactly as you would enter it during a call.
When you hear the prompt that tells you to enter the number, open
the phonebook and find the entry that contains your code number.

Weak or Hard To Hear Audio
If a caller’s voice sounds weak or soft, the signal might be blocked by
large metal objects or walls; you might also be too far from the base,
or the handset’s battery may be weak.
Try moving around while you’re on a call or moving closer to the
base to see if the sound gets louder.
Make sure the handset’s battery is fully charged.
Try adjusting the earpiece volume or the audio tone (see below).

N oise or Static On The Line
Interference is the most common cause of noise or static on a
cordless phone. Here are some common sources of interference:
electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens
computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL
modems
radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless
controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers
fluorescent light fixtures (especially if they give off a buzzing noise)
other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems,
intercom systems, or broadband Internet service
25
Here are some hints for when the static is...
on 1 handset or in 1 location: on all handsets or in all locations:
-Check nearby for one of the
common interference sources.
-Try moving the handset away from
a suspected source, or try moving
the suspected source so it’s not
between the handset and the base.
-Try moving closer to the base.
There is always more noise at the
edges of the base's range. If the
handset displays an
Out of Range
message, you need to move closer
-Check near the base for the source
of interference.
-Try moving the base away from a
suspected source, or turn off the
source if possible.
-If the base has an adjustable
antenna, try raising the antenna so
it stands straight up.
-If you have any service that uses the
phone line, you might need a filter
(see below).
to the base.
Do you use a T-Coil hearing aid?
If you have a hearing aid equipped with a telecoil (T-coil) feature,
the interaction between the hearing aid and digital cordless phones
can cause noise in the handset. If you have a T-coil hearing aid and
you have problems with noise on the line, try turning on
Open the menu. Select
Handset Setup,

mode.
Using T-coil mode can shorten the handset’s talk time; make sure to
watch the battery status and keep the battery charged.
Installing a line fi lter or DSL fi lter
Sometimes, broadband Internet services that use the telephone line
can interfere with phones. One of these services−DSL−often causes
static on telephones. A DSL filter or telephone line filter usually solves
this problem. The technician who installed your DSL service might
have left some filters for you; if not, call your DSL provider or look in
any electronics store.

Handling Liquid Damage
Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone.
If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the
exterior plastic housing is affected, wipe off the liquid and use as
normal.
If moisture or liquid has entered the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can
be heard in the phone or liquid has entered the handset battery
compartment or vent openings on the base), follow these steps:
HandsetBase
1. Remove the battery cover and disconnect the
battery.
2. Let dry for at least 3 days with the battery
disconnected and the cover off for ventilation.
3. After the handset dries, reconnect the battery
pack and replace the cover. Recharge the
battery fully (15-20 hours) before using.
IMPORTANT: You must unplug the telephone line while
recharging the battery pack to avoid charge interruption.
1. Disconnect the AC
adapter to cut off the
power.
2. Disconnect the
telephone cord.
3. Let dry for at least 3 days
before reconnecting.
CAUTION! DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up
the drying process. This will cause permanent damage
to the handset, base and the microwave oven.
