Entering Text on Your Phone

When you want to enter text into your phone (for example, a name in the phonebook), use the twelve-key dial pad to enter the letters printed on the number keys. Here's how it works:



If you press the key again after the last letter, the phone starts the same letter sequence with small letters. If you press 2 four times in a row, the phone enters a (small letter). Press 2 five times for b, and six times for c.

To install a headset, remove the headset jack cover and insert the headset plug into the jack.



Just make and receive calls as usual, and use your headset to talk to the caller after the call connects.

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 EZX290 accessory handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone.



Your phone may be compatible with other Uniden accessory handsets. Please visit our website for a list of compatible handsets for your base.



Accessory handsets must be registered to the base before you can use them. Handsets that have not been registered display a

not registered

message. See page 29 for instructions on registering

handsets to this base, or see 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 29 for EZX290 handsets).

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 corded handset from the base or press cordless handset. To leave the conference call, hang up normally; 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 Privacy Mode

You can prevent other stations from joining a call. Start your call as usual, then press

again to turn privacy mode on (you'll see a in the display). When

you hang up this call, privacy mode turns off automatically. As long you have privacy mode on, no other stations can interrupt your

Using Special Features

Using Your Phone During a Power Failure

Because your phone combines a corded handset with a cordless phone, it 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



Corded handset volume control



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.

Using Do Not Disturb



The Do Not Disturb or DND feature turns off the audio ringers of the base & all handsets at the same time. It doesn't affect the visual ringers.



Using Text-To-Speech

With the Text To Speech (TTS) feature, your phone can announce phone numbers or names in several different situations.

When you... (from standby) The phone announces...

Dial a number The phone number you dialed

Open the phonebook The name of the entry you are looking at

Things to know about TTS:



You have to turn on TTS separately for each station. Open the menu and select and select On or



To make sure it doesn't interrupt a call or an intercom page, the phone only uses TTS when it starts out in standby. For example, if you open the phonebook during a call, the phone won't announce the names in your phonebook.



It takes at least 2 rings for the phone to receive Caller ID information and announce it. If the phone is answered before the end of the second ring, the phone won't have time to announce the name of the caller.



To change the volume used for Caller ID announcements, change the ringer volume. To change the volume for all other TTS features, change the speaker volume.



The TTS feature only uses English to announce the name and numbers, regardless of what language is use for the display or the answering system prompts.

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).

Installing a telephone line lter or DSL 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.

Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and then plug your phone’s base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.
