Changing the dial mode
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These days, most base networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode. If you don’t get a dial tone or can’t connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
Press MENU/SELECT. Select the Global Setup menu, and then the Dial Mode submenu. Scroll to highlight Pulse. Press MENU/SELECT. You will hear a conrmation tone.
If you ever need to change the dial mode back to tone dialing, follow the same procedure, but select Tone in step 3.
NOW YOU ARE READY TO USE YOUR PHONE!

Expanding Your Phone
Adding accessory handsets
Your phone supports a total of six cordless handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone. You can now place a fully-featured cordless handset anywhere AC power is available to connect the charging cradle.
Your phone is compatible with the following Uniden DECT 6.0 accessory handsets: DCX150, DCX200, and DCX300. (Please visit our website at www.uniden.com for the most up-to-date list of compatible handsets.) If you purchase any accessory handsets separately, you must register the handsets to the base before you can use them. (Accessory handsets that come packaged with a base are already registered to that base.)
Registering accessory handsets
When charged, registered handsets display a handset ID number. Handsets that have not been registered display:
↔
To register an accessory handset:
Charge the handset completely. (For the DCX150 accessory handset, see page 8 for instructions on connecting the charging cradle and charging the handset. For a DCX200 or DCX300 accessory handset, see the manual supplied with the handset for instructions on connecting the charging cradle and charging the handset.)
With the phone in standby, press MENU/SELECT on the base. Move the cursor to select the Register Handset menu, and then press MENU/SELECT. Handset Registering will
appear. On the handset, press and hold # until the handset beeps and displays Handset Registering. When the handset has registered to the base, the LCD will display Registration Complete then show the handset
ID number. If the display shows Registration failed, repeat the process again. Note: If a handset has ever been registered to a base, reset the handset before you register it to a new base (see
Resetting the Handset on page 59). Or to use multiple bases, see the next section.

Using Multiple Bases
The handsets supplied with your phone can be registered to a total of four different bases. Compatible bases include the DECT1500 series and the WXI2077 series. (See our website or contact Customer Service for an up-to-date list of compatible models.)
Note: To conrm how many bases the handset is registered to, open the Select Base submenu (follow the step 1 of
Selecting the base on page 15). Press END to close the list and return to standby.
Registering the handset to another base
To register a handset to another base:
Make sure the handset battery is fully charged.
If the other base has an LCD display:
With the phone in standby, press MENU/SELECT on the base. Move the cursor to select the Register Handset menu, and then press MENU/SELECT. Handset Registering will appear.
If the other base does not have an LCD display:
Disconnect the base AC adapter. Then press and hold the Find Handset key* while you reconnect the adapter. Keep holding the Find Handset key until the charge LED starts to blink. *This key might be labeled Find or Find HS.
On the handset, press MENU/SELECT. Select the Register Base menu. Handset Registering will appear in the
display. (After step 2, you have thirty seconds to complete this step 3 before the system returns to standby.)
Wait approximately thirty seconds. Registration complete will be displayed to indicate the handset has been
registered to the base and a handset ID will be automatically assigned. The handset assigns its own ID to this
base, too. (Since the base ID is based on the order in which the handset was registered to the different bases, a
base may have different IDs on each handset.)
If Registration failed appears in the LCD, please try these steps again.
Note: The handset will stay connected to the new base until you select a different base (see below).

Selecting the base
After you register your handset to more than one base, you can set the handset to automatically search for a new base if the base it’s currently connected is unavailable or out of range. You can also manually select which base you want the handset to connect to; for example, if you have one base with an answering machine, you can connect to that base to check messages from the handset.
With the phone in standby, press MENU/SELECT. Select the Handset Setup menu, and then the Select Base
submenu.
Move the cursor to select the base you want to connect to, or choose Auto to have the handset automatically
search for and select base.
Press MENU/SELECT. Searching will appear in the display.
When the base is found, the handset will return to standby. If the base is not found, “Searching” continues
to appear. You can repeat the procedure listed above to return back to the original connection or to nd the
different base.
Note: You cannot change bases during a call.

Setting Up the Phonebook
Each station has its own separate phonebook that holds up to seventy names and numbers. When a station’s phonebook is full, the station beeps and shows Memory Full on the display. You cannot add any names and numbers in that station’s phonebook until you delete some of the existing ones.
You can also use the phonebook entries to store a group of numbers (up to twenty digits) that you may need to enter once your call connects. This is referred to as chain dialing. (See Chain dialing from the phonebook on page 32.)
Creating Phonebook Entries
To store names and numbers in your phonebook, please follow these steps:
With the phone in standby, press (on the left side of the four-way key).
To create a new phonebook entry, press MENU/SELECT. Select the Create New menu. Edit Name appears.
Enter the name for this entry (Edit Name). Use the keypad to enter a name for this entry; the name can contain up to sixteen characters. (See Entering
Text from Your Handset on page 22 for instructions on entering text.) If you do not want to enter a name for this entry, your phone will store this entry as No Name. Press MENU/SELECT when you are nished.
Enter the number for this entry (Edit Number).
Once you have stored a name, Edit Number appears next. Use the number keypad to enter the phone number; the phone number can contain up to twenty digits. If you need the phone to pause between digits when it’s dialing (for example, to enter an extension or an access code), press REDIAL/ PAUSE to insert a two-second pause. You will see a P in the display. You can also use more than one pause together if two seconds is not long enough. Each pause counts as one digit. Press MENU/SELECT when you are
nished.

Using Caller ID, Call Waiting, and Redial Lists
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your phone company, your phone will show you the caller’s phone number and name (if available) whenever a call comes in. If you subscribe to Caller ID on Call Waiting, the phone will also show you the name and the number of any call that comes in while you’re on the line.
Using the Caller ID List
You can store up to thirty Caller ID numbers in each station. Caller ID records are stored from newest to oldest. Once your Caller ID list is full, the oldest record will be automatically deleted when a new call is received. When you have new Caller ID records (that is, records you have not reviewed yet) and the phone is in standby, the station will display the number of new Caller ID calls received. (See page 20.) To open the Caller ID list, press (on the right side of the four-way key). The phone will show the latest record. Use and to scroll through the list. (New records have an asterisk next to the received time.)
Making a Call from a Caller ID Record
With the phone in standby, press to open the Caller ID list. Use and to nd the Caller ID record you want to dial. If you need to add (or delete) a “1” to the beginning of the displayed phone number, press /TONE. Press TALK/FLASH or on the handset or pick up the corded handset from the base or press on the
base to dial the number.
Note: You can also press TALK/FLASH or on the handset or pick up the corded handset from the base or press

MENU/SELECT.
What’s this “add or delete a 1” about?
Any phone number in the Caller ID records might (or might not!) have a “1” at the front, depending on how different phone companies send the Caller ID information. The phone dials the number exactly as it appears in the Caller ID record. If the phone number is a long distance or toll call, but the Caller ID record does not have a “1” in front of the number, press /TONE to add it. If the phone number is a local or non-toll call, but the Caller ID record has a “1” in front of the number, press /TONE to delete it.

Seven-digit dialing
If you can make a local call by dialing only seven digits instead of ten, you can tell the phone to hide your local area code in the Caller ID list; any calls from outside your area code will show all ten digits. This setting applies to the base and all handsets currently connected to the same base.
To program your local area code:
Press MENU/SELECT. Select the Global Setup menu, and then the Area Code submenu. Use the number keypad (0 through 9) to enter a three-digit area code. If an area code has already been stored,

Press MENU/SELECT. You will hear a conrmation tone.
Note: If you have multiple bases, select the base before programming the area code (see page 15).
The phone uses the stored area code as a lter. When a call comes in, the phone compares the incoming area
code to the code programmed on the phone. If the two codes match, the station hides the area code in the Caller ID list. When you are reviewing the Caller ID list, you can show the hidden area code by pressing #. Press # again to hide the area code. When you dial from a Caller ID record or store a Caller ID record in the phonebook, the phone dials or stores the digits exactly as they appear on the display. If you need to use ten digits, be sure to press # to show the area code before you dial or store the number. (See page 27 to store a Caller ID record in the phonebook.)
Deleting Caller ID Numbers
To delete only one Caller ID number, press when the phone is in standby, and then nd the number you want to delete. Press MENU/SELECT and select Delete Entry. When the phone asks you to conrm, select Yes.

Weak or Hard to Hear Audio
If the 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 adjusting the volume of the earpiece (see page 36) or the audio tone (see page 37). 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.
Noise or Static on the Line
The most common cause of noise or static on a cordless phone is interference: other wireless or electronic devices can radiate energy that disturbs the radio signal between the base and the handset (much like overhead power lines can cause static on your car radio). Some common household sources of interference are
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 orescent light xtures (particularly ones that give off a “buzzing” noise)
other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems, intercom systems, or broadband Internet service
For static on only one handset or in a specic location: For static on more than one handset:
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.
•
•
Check near the base for the source of interference. Try moving the base away from a suspected source, or try turning off the source if possible. If you have any services that might use your phone
line, see if you need a lter on the phone line.

Troubleshooting
Installing a telephone line lter or DSL lter
Any broadband Internet service that uses your telephone
line might interfere with standard phones. The most common type of these services, DSL, often causes static on your telephone.
Fortunately, an easy-to-install lter removes this static from the line. Technicians who install DSL service usually leave several lters for the customers; if you can’t nd them, call your DSL provider or look
in any electronics store.
Just plug the DSL lter into the telephone wall jack and then plug your phone’s base into the lter. Make a test call to make sure the
noise is gone.
Resetting the Handset
You may need to reset your handset in the following instances:
You lose a handset and purchase a new one. You get the message Registration Failed when you try to register the handset. You are unable to register any handsets to the base. When you register new handsets to the base, the handset IDs do not match. (For example, the handset registers as “Handset #4” but you only have two handsets.) When you are instructed to by one of Uniden’s call center representatives.
Select the base you want to de-register the handset from (see Selecting the base on page 15). Press and hold END and # for more than ve seconds. Select Deregister HS. Select the handset which you are operating, and then press MENU/SELECT. The phone will ask you to conrm the deregistration. Select Yes. The selected handset will clear its registration
information only from the base it is currently connected to, and then delete the link to the base from its own memory.
When the base information is deleted, the handset displays Handset not registered-place handset on base to register. See your Owner’s Manual for help.

Re-register the handset to the base (see Registering accessory handsets on page 13).
If the handset cannot contact the base, it will display Out Of Range. Make sure the handset is in range of the base and the base is connected to power; you can also reset the handset without the base (see the next section).
Resetting the Handset Without the Base
If your original base is not available for some reason, you can still reset the handset and use it with another base.
Press and hold END and # for at least ve seconds. Move the cursor to select Base Unavailable and then press MENU/SELECT. Select the base which you want to de-register from, and then press MENU/SELECT. Base Unavailable appears. Move the cursor to select Yes, and then press MENU/SELECT. You hear a conrmation tone, and the handset
deletes its own base information without contacting the base. If the handset was registered to only one base, it displays Handset not registered-place handset on base to register. See your Owner’s Manual for help. If the handset is still registered to another base, it searches for the other base and then returns to standby.
Register the handset to the new base (see Registering accessory handsets on page 13).

Troubleshooting
Changing the Line Mode for Multiple Extensions
Line mode refers to the method that telephones use to signal each other that an extension is in use. Customer service may recommend changing the line mode if you have any of the following problems:
Your phone keeps ringing after someone answers on an extension phone. Your answering system doesn’t stop recording when you answer on an extension phone.
Caller ID displays briey and then clears.
If you set from a handset and you have multiple bases, select the base that is having problems (see page 15). Press MENU/SELECT. Select the Global Setup menu, and then the Set Line Mode submenu. If Instructed by Customer Service Press [select] appears. Press MENU/SELECT. Move the cursor to select Type - A, Type - B, or Off. Press MENU/SELECT. You will hear a conrmation tone.
Traveling Out of Range
When the handset is in standby, the handset will display Out Of Range. During a call, if you move your handset too far from your base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limit of the
base, the handset will beep, display Out Of Range, and then go to standby. The base will maintain the connection for thirty seconds after the handset goes out of range. If you move the handset back within range of the base within thirty seconds, press TALK/FLASH or to pick up the call again.
Note: If it is set to automatically select the available base, the handset will begin searching for another base thirty
seconds after going out of range. (see Selecting the base on page 15).

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Page 66
66
Precautions!
--Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
--Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Radio interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference is caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator,
vacuum cleaner, uorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is
NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around your home to see what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also powers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals from another cordless telephone or other source of interference.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Cordless telephone privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communications can be received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone may not be private.
