AutoTalkTMallows you to answer a call by just removing the handset from the base.
AutoStandby
Random Code

activated by other equipment. Random Code digital security automatically selects one of approx.
65,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Also, AutoSecure
your phone when the handset is in the base.

Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider frequency band” vs. a “single narrow
band” used in standard digital transmissions. The result is a more secure conversation with the
clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones.

Standby Mode - The handset is not in use, is off of the base, and has not been pressed. A
dial tone is not present and the display is blank.

Talk Mode - The handset is not on the base and has been pressed enabling a dial tone.

Talk appears on the display.

call waiting

Most phone systems use tone dialing, which sends DTMF tones through the
phone lines. However, some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in
rural areas. The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing
system, set the mode as follows:

GETTING STARTED

Base setting only

1 Press and hold until you hear a confirmation tone.

2 To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press . Or to set the dial

mode for tone dialing, press . A confirmation tone sounds to
indicate the setting is complete.

• If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for tone dialing. Make a
trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set for
pulse dialing.

• If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send the DTMF
tones for certain situations during a call, you may “switch-over” to tone
dialing (refer to “Tone Dialing Switch-over” on page 32).

GETTING STARTED [ 9 ]

GETTING STARTED[ 10 ]

Direct wall mounting

If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly
to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting
location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.

• Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid
excessive cord lengths.

• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the
base and handset.

• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices
suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.

1 Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their

appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart.
Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw
heads for mounting the phone.

2 Set the retainer clip if necessary.

3 Refer to steps 1 through 4 on page 10 to mount

the telephone.

Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call
connects, press . Enter the desired number (like in the example
above, the bank account number). These digits will be sent as tone
dialing. This special number can be stored in a memory location. This is
referred to as Chain Dialing (See page 31). Once the call ends, the tone
mode is canceled and pulse dialing resumes.

Descriptions of calling features

The following descriptions are typical and may vary depending on your
local calling area and service availability. For complete instructions,
please contact your telephone company.
Last Call Return remembers the number of the person who called you last and
automatically dials that number. This feature is useful if you just missed an
incoming call.
Busy Call Return continually redials a busy number for you. When a number is
busy, Busy Redial monitors the busy number and lets you know when the line is
free with a distinctive ring. The number you called will not ring until you pick
up the phone.
Cancel Call Waiting temporarily cancels call waiting service. This feature is useful
if you have call waiting service, but don’t want to be disturbed during a call.
Call Forwarding allows you to send your calls to another phone, cellular or
even pager number.

Cancel Call Forwarding temporarily cancels call forwarding.
Priority Calling lets you recognize special calls before you answer the phone.

You can set up a list of phone numbers and the instant your phone rings, you’ll
know if the call is from one of these numbers by the distinctive ring. Your list
can identify important callers or people you don’t wish to talk to.
Anonymous Call Rejection stops calls from people who block their Caller ID
information. Anonymous callers hear a message that you are not accepting

the owner’s manual.

2. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. The cell may

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Important Electrical Considerations

Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is
approaching. Lightning can pass through your household wiring and
damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.

Warning!

Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical
storm.

The FCC Wants You To Know

Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by
Uniden, or operation of this product in any way other than as
detailed by the owner’s manual, could void your authority to operate
this product. The equipment cannot be used on public coin phone
service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party line
service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the state public utility
commission, public service commission or corporation commission for
information.)

Range

Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range
by transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications
set forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a
maximum distance with the qualification that the range depends
upon the environment in which the telephone is used. Many factors
limit range, and it would be impossible to include all the variables in
our rating. The Maximum Range rating of this phone is meant to be
used as a means of comparison against other range claims.

Telephone Line Problems

The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect
service in the event that your phone causes problems on the
telephone line. Also, the telephone company may make changes in
facilities and services which may affect the operation of your unit.
However, your telephone company must give adequate notice in
writing prior to such actions to allow you time for making necessary
arrangements to continue uninterrupted service.
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first
disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your
problem. If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it
disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.

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, fluorescent 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.

More Than One Cordless Telephone

If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home,
they must operate on different channels. Press the channel key to
select a channel that provides the clearest communication.

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.

Installation Considerations

Selecting a Location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some
important guidelines you should consider:

• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous
power outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which
does not have a switch to interrupt its power.)

• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise
such as motors or fluorescent lighting.

• Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the base antenna.

• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a

standard telephone wall plate.

• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before
completing the installation or using the handset.

Telephone Line Outlets

There are two types of phone outlets:

Modular Jack

Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone
cords are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into
this type of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact
your local telephone company for information about their
installation.

Hardwired Jack

Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of
installations require a modular jack converter. This type of
installation is not difficult; however, you should contact your Uniden
telephone dealer or a telephone supply store for advice about the
proper adapter or converter for your particular situation.

Connecting the Telephone Cords

Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone
cords:

Caution!

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Applying Power to the Base

This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt
power, and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug
when the phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord
around the strain relief notch on the bottom of the base.

NOTE: Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip

hazard, or where it could become chafed and create a
fire or other electrical hazards.

Adapter Safety Features

Do not use an outlet controlled by a wall switch.

Use only the Uniden AC Adapter supplied with this phone.
