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).

Safety Recommendations

To ensure general safety, follow these guidelines:

• Do not open or disassemble this product.

• Do not expose the product to moisture.

• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.

• Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

• Do not touch the wires on the cable ports or the wires of cables connected to a port as hazardous voltage may be present on these wires when the equipment is powered on.

• The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times because it serves as the power disconnect.

• To avoid electric shock, do not connect the UIP160P to any RJ-11 telephone wall jacks. This could damage the UIP160P or the telephone wiring in the building.

• Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables if lightning or thunder are present in your area.

911 Service Notice

Packet8 offers Enhanced 911 calling as a standard feature of its Internet phone service. However, there are certain circumstances, when you dial 911 from a phone connected to the Packet8 service, where E911 service may not function, or the E911 service may be in some way limited by comparison to traditional 911 service. Please review the Terms and Conditions at www.packet8.net for additional information.

Before You Start!

Visit the Packet8 activation website http://activate.packet8.net/ and enter the MAC address ID found on the bottom of your UIP160P. After you activate the UIP160P, you will receive an email containing a 10-digit activation code. You will need this activation code in Step 3.

STEP 1: Check Your Equipment

Check your broadband setup and the other equipment you will need:

• A broadband modem and a broadband Internet connection

• A computer with an Ethernet port (or a local Ethernet switch or router)

• One CAT-5 Ethernet cable

• The Packet8 10-digit activation code that was emailed to you when you created your account. (If you don't have this email, go to www.packet8.net and enter the email address and password used to create the account in the account sign in at the top of the screen.)

• If you want to use an analog phone or fax machine with the UIP160P, you will need a standard telephone cable (RJ-11).

SETTING UP THE

PHONE

note

If you ordered your UIP160P directly from Packet8, it will already be activated for you. Your 10-digit activation code was in the confirmation email you received when your UIP160P shipped. (If you don’t have this email, go to www.packet8.net and enter the email address and password used to create the account in the account sign in page.)

www.uniden.com

SETTING UP THE PHONE [8]

Check Your Broadband Configuration

The UIP160P supports the two most common broadband connection protocols: DHCP and PPPoE. If your broadband connection uses DHCP, you do not need to change any settings on the UIP160P. If your broadband connection uses PPPoE, you will need to enter your user name and password in step 3. If your broadband provider has given you a static IP address, you will need to enter that information in the UIP160P. See the User Interface Guide at www.uniden.com/voip for more information on configuring your UIP160P.

STEP 2: Connect Your UIP160P

Once your account is set up, you can connect your UIP160P.

1) Use the included Ethernet cable to connect your broadband modem to the RJ-45 port labeled WAN . If you use a switch or a router for your local network, then you can connect it to the WAN port instead.

SETTING UP THE

PHONE

[9] SETTING UP THE PHONE

www.uniden.com

2) Use another Ethernet cable to connect your PC to the

RJ-45 port labeled LAN.

3) OPTIONAL: If you have a second phone you want to use

connect it to RJ-11 port labeled PHONE.

CAUTION

Do not connect the UIP160P to a regular telephone wall jack.

4) Use the included AC adapter to connect the

POWER port to a 100-240 Vac continuous power outlet.

CAUTION

To avoid risk of fire or electrical hazard, use ONLY the included AC adapter!

SETTING UP THE

PHONE

note

PHONE is not a separate line. Any phone connected to PHONE will share your VoIP line with all the UIP160P's cordless handsets.

www.uniden.com

SETTING UP THE PHONE [10]

All the LEDs will flash several times, and the PWR LED will remain on. If the UIP160P was properly recognized by Packet8's network, the link LED will remain on. Test your connection by making a call with the handset and browsing to a web page from your PC. If you have any difficulty, see the Troubleshooting section. See the User Interface Guide at www.uniden.com/voip for more information on configuring your UIP160P.

Step 3 Activate your Packet8 Service

Once you have connected your UIP160P, you can activate your Packet8 service

• You will need your 10-digit activation code that was sent to you by email when your

Packet8 order shipped. (You can also obtain your activation code at www.packet8.net by signing in at your account page.)

• Pick up your telephone handset and dial the Activation Service number **012-0001.

• Follow the voice instructions and enter your 10-digit activation code.

• When you enter a valid code, your account will be activated and your Packet8 phone

number will be emailed to you. This Packet8 phone number can also be found in your account details page after signing in at www.packet8.net.

Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the battery compartment, connect the battery and listen for a click to insure connection.

3) Make sure you have a good connection by slightly 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.

5) Place the handset in the base with the keypad facing forward.

6) 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.

•If a handset has ever been registered to a different base, you must de-register the handset before you can register it to the new base (see page 15).

EXPANDING YOUR

PHONE

De-register the Handset

You can deregister the handset's ID from the main base unit or the base ID from the handset. You will usually only deregister the handset if you want to change the base you use it with, if you are having a problem with your phone, or if you need to change the digital security code. The digital security code is an identification code used to connect the handset and the base unit. Normally, setting the code is not necessary. In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is using the same security code, you can change the code by de-registering and reregistering all handsets.

1) In standby mode, press the MENU soft key and select Deregister HS. Then, press the OK soft key.
