Uniden PCD1000 User Manual
Important Information
Read this section before using your PCD1000 cellular telephone.
The PCD1000 is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the
phone is on, the antenna is the part of the phone that sends out
and receives radio frequency (RF) energy in the 824 to 894 MHz
range using common frequency modulation (FM) techniques.
When you use your phone, the cellular system handling your call
controls the power level (usually 0.006 watts to 3 watts)at which
your phone transmits.
In 1991, the institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE), and in 1992 the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with
respect to human exposure to RF energy. Over 120 scientists,
engineers, and physicians from universities, government health
agencies, and industry, after reviewing the available body of
research, developed this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) proposed the
adoption of this updated Standard. For the safe and efficient
operation of your phone, observe these guidelines:
1. Warning: Uniden America Corporation does not represent
this unit to have been waterproofed. To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, fire hazard, or damage to the unit, do not
expose to rain or moisture.
2. Do not operate this cellular phone when holding the antenna,
or when any person is within 4 inches of the antenna. To limit
RF exposure, control the duration of your calls.
3. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may
result. If the antenna is damaged, replace it with a
Uniden-approved antenna before operating the phone.
Contact your Uniden dealer for more information.
4. When using your phone while driving, Uniden recommends
that you only use the phone when the vehicle is stationary.
This ensures that you maintain full attention to driving while
the vehicle is in motion. You are responsible for driving safely
and using reasonable judgment while using your cellular
phone.
5. RF energy from cellular telephones may affect some personal
medical devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) Consult
your physician or the device manufacturer for information
regarding the effect of RF energy on personal medical
devices.
6. Do not use this cellular phone in an airplane.
7. Do not allow children to play with the phone. It is not a toy.
Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking
themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for
example). Children could also damage the phone or make
calls that increase your telephone bills.
8. Obey the warning signs that require mobile radios to be
turned off. This is typically required near construction sites
where blasting occurs, and in health care facilities.
9. Turn your phone off when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. These areas include fueling areas
such as gas stations, below deck on boats, chemical transfer
and storage facilities, and areas where the air contains
particles (grain, dust, or metal powders.)

Fast Start
Charging the Battery
1. Plug adapter into wall outlet.
2. Plug adapter into the PCD1000.
3. If you have the PCD1087
extended life battery, charge
the battery for 8 hours.
Otherwise, charge the cellular
battery for 15 hours.
Battery Alarm
A Battery Warning Tone sounds when the battery charge is low. The battery icon flashes and the
message,
Battery Memory Effect
RECHARGE BATTERY
, displays on the LCD.
Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory” (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated
charge and discharge cycles.
Rechargeable batteries that have developed this effect will not operate to their fullest capacity.
To Avoid Memory Effect: Operate the unit until the Rechargeable Battery is completely discharged
before recharging. Do not “top off” the charge after using for a short time.
Also, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for extended periods of time.
To Erase Memory Effect: Operate the unit until the Rechargeable Battery is completely discharged,
then recharge fully. Repeat this process at least three (3) times.
