Welcome
Thank you for purchasing a Uniden Multi-Handset phone with integrated answer machine. This unit is different from conventional cordless telephones. When the base unit is connected to AC power and a telephone line, it can support up to 4 handsets. Using extra handsets, you can establish a 3-way conference call (2 handsets and an outside line), while two other handsets are making an intercom call. 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.
Note: Illustrations in this manual are used for explanation purposes. Some illustrations in this manual may differ from the actual unit.
Caution: The earcap of this telephone may attract and retain small metallic objects.

Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a power outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch.
• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• Don't place the base in direct sunlight or subject it to high temperatures. The battery may not charge properly.
• For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
• If your home has specially 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 qualified installer.
