Welcome

Thank you for purchasing a Uniden Multi-Handset phone with a waterproof, oating handset.

Note:. Illustrations.in.this.manual.are.used.for.explanation.purposes..Some.illustrations.in.this.manual.may.differ.

from.the.actual.unit.

Accessibility

Uniden.provides.a.customer.service.hotline.for.accessibility.questions..If.you.have.a.disability.and.need.customer.
service.assistance.or.if.you.have.any.questions.about.how.Uniden’s.products.can.accommodate.persons.with.
disabilities,.please.call.the.accessibility.voice/TTY.line:.1-800-874-9314.

What Exactly does “Waterproof Handset” Mean?

The yellow handset complies with the JIS7 water submersion specications. This means the handset can remain

submerged.under.3.feet.of.water.for.up.to.30.minutes.without.damage.or.loss.of.functionality..
The.handset.will.still.receive.calls.even.if.it.is.under.water,.but.you.probably.won’t.be.able.to.hear.the.ringer..To.avoid.

any.accidents,.

Is the Charging Cradle Waterproof?

None of the charging cradles are waterproof:.the.yellow.charging.cradle.is.water resistant..The.yellow.cradle.uses.
a.special.method.called.magnetic.inductive.charging,.so.it.can.charge.your.handset.without.exposing.any.electronic.
components..(You.may.notice.that.the.charging.contacts.are.enclosed.in.plastic.and.there.is.no.metal.showing.).This.
charging.method.makes.the.cradle.safe.to.use.near.water.or.in.highly.humid.environments,.

to be submerged in water.

do not try to use the handset while it is still under water.

but is it not designed

to.the.following.two.conditions:.(1).This.device.may.not.cause.harmful.
interference,.and.(2).This.device.must.accept.any.interference.received,.
including.interference.that.may.cause.undesired.operation..Privacy.of.

Precautions!

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..Be.certain.that.the.antenna.on.the.
unit.is.fully.extended.when.needed..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..
If.you.cannot.eliminate.this.type.of.interference,.you.need.to.
change.to.a.different.channel.

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.
