Congratulations on your purchase of this 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 over

approx. 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 transceiver (walkie-talkies).

Soft Key Function

"Soft" keys are keys that change function during the operation of the phone. There are three soft keys on each handset. Soft Keys allow you to:

- Access the main menu - Access stored Caller ID messages

- Set up CIDCW options - Redial one of the last three numbers dialed from the handset

- Store or edit phone numbers - Remote Answering operation

Note: The soft keys will not appear while the handset is charging.

The function of each soft key is determined by the icon that appears directly above it. For example, when the handset is in standby mode, pressing soft key 1 will redial the last dialed number. When the handset is in talk mode, pressing soft key 1 will mute the microphone.

Complete information on the features controlled by the soft keys can be found under each feature.

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.

•Use only the Uniden

(BT-446) rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone.

•Replacement battery packs are also available through the Uniden Parts Department at (800) 554-3988, Monday thru Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or online at

www.uniden.com

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 handset, charge your handset for 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.

•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.

2) Plug the AC adapter into the DC IN 9V jack.

3) Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack.

4) Slide the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base.

5) Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Hook the cord on the notch of the wall mount adapter.

6) Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet. Hook the cord on the notch of the wall mount adapter.

7) Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the wall. Then push in and down until the phone is firmly seated.

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.

Setting the Ring Time

Ring Time allows you to set the number of rings the caller hears before your answering system plays the outgoing message. You can set the ring time to answer after two, four, or six rings. If you enable the Toll Saver (TS), the answering system picks up after two rings if you have new messages and after four rings if there are none.

1) Press the MENU soft key. Select the Answ. Setup

menu, and then the Ring Time submenu.

2) Press /vol/

∧ or /vol/∨ to select a Ring Time

(Toll Saver, 2 Times, 4 Times, or 6 Times).

3) Press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.

Setting the Record Time

Record Time sets the duration for recording the incoming messages. You have three record time options. The options "1 minute" or "4 minutes" set the duration for recording the incoming messages. "Announce only" answers the call but prevents the caller from leaving a message.

1) Press the MENU soft key. Select the Answ. Setup

menu, and then the Record Time submenu.
