Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden Digital Expandable Cordless
Telephone System! 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 10 handsets. 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.
Extra handsets also allow you to establish a 4-way conference call among 2
handsets, the base speakerphone, and an outside line.
Note: Some illustrations in this manual may differ from the actual unit for
explanation purposes.

This series features AutoTalk™ and AutoStandby™. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing
the handset from the cradle so you don't have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you to
hang up by simply returning the handset to the cradle.
To protect you against mis-billed calls that might result from your phone being activated by other
equipment, this series has
Random Code™ digital security, which automatically selects one of more than
10,000,000 digital security codes for the handset and base.
Digital Spread Spectrum Technology uses a wider frequency band than 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.
IntegriSound™ Built in sound quality which provides life-like conversations.
With DirectLink™ mode, you can use 2 or more handsets as radio transceivers (walkie-talkies).

GETTING STARTED
Setting up the Phone
A. Choose 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 continuous power outlet (one
which is not connected to a switch).
• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• 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 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.

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset
The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges
automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit. To maximize the charge
capacity of your battery pack, DO NOT plug the telephone cord into the base unit
and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.
1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the
finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover
downward to remove.
2) Turn the battery pack so that the connector with the red
and black wires is near the jack inside the battery
compartment. Match the connector's wire colors to the
polarity label in the battery compartment (the connector
notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one way).
Push the battery pack connector into the jack until it
clicks into place.
3) Make sure you have a good connection by gently pulling on
the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery
jack will remain in place.
4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide
it upwards until it clicks into place.
note
The battery may be
purchased by calling

Department (see back
cover page).

note
•Use only the supplied
[AD-830] AC adapter.
Do not use any other
AC adapter.
•Place the power cord
so that it does not
create a trip hazard or
where it could become
chafed and create a
fire or electrical
hazard.
GETTING STARTED
C. Connect the base unit
1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to
a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power
supply (i.e., an outlet that is not controlled by a
switch).
2) Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the
handset in the base unit.
Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that
you can unplug the AC adapter easily.
3) Make sure that the charge LED illuminates.
If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that
the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset
makes good contact with the base charging
contacts.
4) After installing the battery pack in the handset,
charge your handset for at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line.
5) Once the handset battery pack is fully charged,
connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE
jack and to a telephone outlet.

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 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) Refer to steps 1 through 7 on page 12 to
mount the telephone.

The FCC Wants You To Know
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the
requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment is a
label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the
format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to
the telephone company.
An applicable Universal Service Order Codes (USOC) certification for the
jacks used in this equipment is provided (i.e., RJ11C) in the packaging
with each piece of approved terminal equipment.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring
and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules
and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and
modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be
connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See
installation instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be
connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may
result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most
but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (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 local telephone company. For
products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of
the product identifier 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). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
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 possibl e. Also,
you will be advised of your right to file 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 modifications 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 specified in this manual.
PRECAUTIONS & WARRANTY [66]

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.
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.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy of
communications, may not be ensured when using this phone.
To insure the safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the
amount of radio frequency energy various products may produce
depending on their intended usage. This product has been tested and
found to comply with the FCC's exposure criteria. For body worn
operation, the FCC RF exposure guidelines were also met when used with
the Uniden accessories supplied or designed for this product. Use of
other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines and should be avoided.
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.

Cordless Telephone Privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the
handset and base of your cordless telephone are accom plished 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.
