Features

Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden Digital Expandable Cordless Telephone System! This is a "Corded/Cordless" Telephone unit. The corded handset (on base) can make/receive calls during power failure. When the base unit is connected to AC power and a telephone line, it can support up to four cordless handsets. 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. Extra handsets also allow you to establish a 4-way conference call among two handsets, the base speakerphone, and an outside line.

WELCOME/FEATURES [2]

This series features AutoTalk and AutoStandby. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing the handset from the cradle so you don't have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the cradle.

To protect you against mis-billed calls that might result from your phone being activated by other equipment, this series has

Random Code digital security, which automatically selects one of about

130,000 digital security codes for the handset and base.

Digital Spread Spectrum Technology uses a wider frequency band than standard digital transmissions. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones.

IntegriSound Built in sound quality which provides life-like conversations.

With DirectLink mode, you can use two or more handsets as radio transceiver (walkie-talkies).

Be sure to visit our web site: www.uniden.com

A. Choose the best location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read "Installation Considerations" on page 85. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:

Avoid heat sources, such as radiators, air ducts, and sunlight

Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment

Avoid noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic

Avoid microwave ovens

Avoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock

Avoid personal computers

note

•If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the phone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment.

•If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.

GETTING STARTED

Choose a central location

Avoid other cordless telephones

GETTING STARTED [10]

B. Connect the base unit

GETTING STARTED

note

•Use only the supplied [AD-800] AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.

•Do not place the power cord where it creates a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.

1) Connect the handset cord to the left side of the phone and the corded base handset.

2) Connect AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply (i.e., an outlet that is not controlled by a switch).

Place the base unit close to the AC outlet to avoid long extension cords.

3) Connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack.

4) Set the base on a desk or tabletop. Place the corded base handset on the base.

5) Raise the antenna to a vertical position.

If your telephone outlet isn't modular, contact your telephone company for assistance.

[11] GETTING STARTED

www.uniden.com

C. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset

GETTING STARTED

1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.

2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the jack inside the battery compartment. (The connector notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one way.) Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the battery compartment, connect the battery and listen for a click to insure connection.

3) Make sure you have a good connection by slightly pulling on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery jack will remain in place.

4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.

note

GETTING STARTED

note

Use only the supplied [AD-0005] AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed in the charger.

1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet.

2) Set the charger on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the charger with the keypad facing forward.

3) Make sure that the charge LED illuminates. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.

4) Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before using your new cordless handset for the first time.

[13] GETTING STARTED

www.uniden.com

E. Mount the Base Unit on a Wall

Standard wall plate mounting

This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate.

1) Detach the wall mount adapter from the bottom of the base.

GETTING STARTED [14]

Direct wall mounting

If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.

• Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive lengths.

• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.

• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1 & 3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.

1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall

(with their appropriate anchors) 3 & 15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

2) Refer to steps 1 through 10 on page 14 to

mount the telephone.

Setting the Dial Mode

Dial Mode sets the dial mode to tone or pulse. Most phone systems use tone dialing; the default setting is tone dialing. Set the dialing mode to match the dialing system used by your local phone service.

• If you are not sure of your dialing system, make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting as is; otherwise set the unit to pulse dialing.

• If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones in certain situations during a call, you may switch over to tone dialing (refer to "Tone Dialing Switch-over" on page 37).

GETTING STARTED

1)Press menu/clear (or the MENU soft key on the

base). Select the Global Setup menu, and then the Dial Mode submenu.
