If you want to use other accessory handsets, visit our website or contact our Customer Care Line for information on compatible handsets.

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:

The phone enters the letters in the order they appear on the key. For example, if you press the number key 2 once, the phone 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 2 four times in a row, the phone enters a (small letter). Press 2 five times for b, and six times for c.

If you see the icon

[Aa]

in the display, the phone enters capital letters

first (

A B C

), then small letters (

a b c

), then the number on the key (2).

The icon

[aA]

means the phone starts at the small letters, so it enters

small letters first, then the number on the key, then capital letters. The phone automatically uses a capital letter for the first letter and any

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

If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the first letter, then use

CALLER ID/RIGHT

to move the cursor to the next position to

enter the second letter.

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. Press

SELECT/MENU

to transmit the code. The phone transmits the code

number exactly as you entered it in the phonebook.

Finding a Lost Handset

With the phone in standby, press

INTERCOM/HOLD

on the base. Select the

handset you want to find, or select

All

to page all handsets at the same

time. The paged handset(s) will beep for one minute, or until you press

Using an Optional Headset

You can use a standard 2.5 mm telephone headset with your cordless handsets. To purchase headsets, contact the Parts Department (see the front cover).

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.

When you connect a headset, the handset automatically mutes the earpiece and speaker. To re-activate the earpiece or speaker, just unplug the headset.



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 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

Handset

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

TALK

on a 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

SELECT/MENU

: the display shows

Call Privacy

. Press

SELECT/

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

call. If you want to let another station join the call, turn privacy mode off. To turn it off, just repeat the process above (press

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.

With the phone in standby, press and hold

DO NOT DISTURB

on the base.

The phone automatically turns on the answering system and shows

Not Disturb

in the display on all stations.

To cancel, press

DO NOT DISTURB

If you turn the answering system off while DND is on, the phone turns off DND along with the answering system.

Adjusting the Base Visual Ringer

The

VISUAL RINGER

switch is at the top of the base (above the cradle); use this switch to change the brightness of the base visual ringer. (It doesn't affect the audio ringers.)

Slide the switch so that its center (marked with the arrow in the picture) lines up with the brightness you want to use:

HIGH, LOW

OFF

Using the Audio Boost

You can increase the earpiece volume for normal calls and intercom calls. During a call, press

BOOST

to increase the volume of the audio. While

audio boost is on, appears in the display. Press

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...

Receive a call The caller's name (if sent by a Caller ID service)

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

Handset Setup

Base Setup

. Then, select

TTS On/off

and select

Off

for each station.

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.

Using Voice Message Notication

This feature supports Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK) message notification. Contact your voice mail provider for more details.

If you subscribe to a voice mail service, your phone can notify you when you have a new message waiting. When you have new messages, the voice message icon () appears in the display.

Resetting the voice message indicator

If the voice message icon won't go away after you check your messages, you can reset it. From the base, open the menu, and select

Noise or Static On The Lineoise or Static On The Line

The most common cause of noise or static on a cordless phone is interference. Here are some common household 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

large florescent 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

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 to the base.

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

Handset Base

Remove the battery cover and leave it off for ventilation.

Disconnect the battery pack. Leave the battery cover off and the battery pack disconnected for at least 3 days.

Once the handset is completely dry, reconnect the battery pack and the battery cover.

Recharge the battery pack for 15-20 hours before using.

Disconnect the AC adapter, cutting off electrical power.

Disconnect the telephone cord from the base.

Let dry for at least 3 days.

IMPORTANT: You must unplug the telephone line while recharging the battery pack to avoid charge interruption.

CAUTION! DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up the drying process. This will cause permanent damage
