Important Safety Instructions!

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

This unit is NOT waterproof. DO NOT expose this unit to rain or moisture.

Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

Call Blocking

Entering Text on Your Phone

When you want to enter text into your handset (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 letters first (

A B C

the key (2). The icon 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 right 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 position to enter the second letter.

The expandable base and the cordless handset give you some useful multi-station features. (A station can be any handset or the base.)

Expanding Your Phone



Your base supports a total of six cordless handsets: the one that came with the base and up to five DCX210 accessory handsets.



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 25 or 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 25 for DCX210).

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 & 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 lter or DSL 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 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.

Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing

Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These days, most telephone companies use tone dialing. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode.

From a handset, open the menu & select

Select

, then select

If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones during a call (if you're using an automated response system, for example), press to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.

Compliance information

FCC Part 68 information

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules & the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On

the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identier in the

format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the phone company.

An applicable Universal Service Order Codes (USOC) certication for the jacks used in this equipment

is provided (i.e., RJ11C) in the packaging with each piece of approved terminal equipment. A plug & jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring & telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules & requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord & modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a phone line. Excessive RENs on a phone line may result in devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not

all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed ve (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may

be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone provider. The REN for this

product is part of the product identier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented

by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance

that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the

telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to

le a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes

in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary

modications to maintain uninterrupted service.

Please follow instructions for repairing, if any (e.g. battery replacement section); otherwise do not

substitute or repair any parts of the device except as specied in this manual. Connection to party line

service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information. This equipment is hearing aid compatible.

If you experience trouble with this equipment, contact the manufacturer (see the cover of this manual for contact information) or an authorized agent. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

If your home has wired alarm equipment connected to a 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 qualied installer. Any changes or modications to this product not expressly approved by the manufacturer or other party

responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate this product.

NOTICE: According to telephone company reports, AC electrical surges, typically resulting from lightning strikes, are very destructive to telephone equipment connected to AC power sources. To minimize damage from these types of surges, a surge arrestor is recommended.
