The TRU5860 series features include AutoTalk™ and AutoStandby. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing the handset from the base so you dont have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the base.
To protect you against mis-billed calls, which might result from your phone being activated by other equipment, the TRU5860 series has
Random Code™ digital security, which automatically selects one of over 65,000 digital
security codes for the handset and base.
RocketDial™ is a one touch speed dial key that automatically dials your most important or frequently called number. The number dialed, is a preset number stored by the user.
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.

Avoid heat sources, such as radiators, air ducts, and sunlight
Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment
Avoid noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic
Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid personal computers

B. Install the battery pack
Charge the battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before plugging the phone line into your base unit.
1) Press down on the battery cover release and slide the cover down until it comes off.

3) Securely close the battery compartment cover by sliding it up until it snaps into place.
4) Place the handset in the base with the keypad facing forward.
Use only the Uniden
battery (BT-446) supplied with your phone.

Cleaning the battery charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging contacts on both the handset and base unit once a month. Use a dry cloth or pencil eraser to clean. If the contacts become very dirty, using water only, dampen a cloth to clean the charging contacts. Then make sure to go back over the charging contacts with a dry cloth before returning the handset to the base to charge.

D. Choose the dialing mode
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:
1) When the phone is in the standby mode, press
menu/mute.
2) Press
+ or - to move the pointer to Dial Mode.
3) Press select/ch and the display will show the current setting. (The initial setting is Tone.)
4) Press
+ or - to change the selection.
5) Press
select/ch, and you will hear a confirmation tone.
6) Press
end to exit.
Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below is the terminology explanation.
Standby Mode - The handset is not in use, is off the base, and talk/flash or spkr has not been pressed. A dial tone is not present. Talk Mode - The handset is not in the base and talk/flash or spkr has been pressed enabling a dial tone.
Talk” appears in the display.
Terminology
If you are not sure of your dialing system, set the unit to tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set the unit to pulse dialing.
If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones in certain situations during a call, you may switch-over to tone dialing. (Refer to Tone Dialing Switch­over on page 23.)

Setting Caller ID Options
There are three Caller ID setup options available: AutoTalk, CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting), and Area Code. See page 16 for Area Code setup instructions.
AutoTalk allows you to answer the phone without pressing
talk/flash or spkr. If the phone rings when AutoTalk is On, simply remove the handset from the base and the phone automatically answers the call. Or if the handset is not in the base, press any number key,
/tone, or # to answer the call. If you set AutoTalk to Off, you must press talk/flash or
spkr to answer the call.
Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) performs the same as regular Caller ID on a call waiting number. CW Deluxe allows you to handle call waiting calls in seven different ways. (See page 38.)
You must subscribe to CIDCW from your phone company in order to use this feature.
The CW Deluxe is a separate service available through your phone company.
