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.

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.

Using Your Phone

Working with Two Lines

When performing common tasks, you can let the station use the
primary line, or you can manually choose a particular line for each
task. Using the primary line makes common tasks much simpler, but
you will need to assign a primary line to each station (see below).

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 ten accessory handsets and 2

MULTIRANGETM chargers, including any that were supplied with
your phone. It is compatible with both the DCX400 handset with
charger and the DRX402 handset with MULTIRANGETM charger.

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 40 or refer to the manual that came with 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 40 for DCX400 and
DRX402 handsets).

Using Multi-Station Conference Calling

When an outside call

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.

Noise 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
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

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

T-coil

mode. Open the menu; select

Handset Setup

Using T-coil mode can shorten the handset’
s talk time; make sure to watch the battery
status and keep the battery charged.

, then select

T-coil

.

38

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 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

cord

Telephone
wall jack

DSL filter

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 plug your phone’s
base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.

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:

Handset Base

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 (16-20 hours) before using.

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.

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

to the handset, base and the microwave oven.
