Welcome

Thank you for purchasing a Uniden multi-handset phone with a waterproof handset. Note: Illustrations in this manual are used for explanation purposes. Some illustrations in this manual may differ

from the actual unit.

What Exactly does “Waterproof Handset” Mean?

Your handset complies with the JIS7 water submersion specications. This means the handset can remain

submerged under 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes without damage or loss of functionality. The handset will still receive calls even if it is under water, but you probably won’t be able to hear the ringer. To avoid

any accidents, do not try to use the handset while it is still under water. After your handset is submerged in water, you might notice that the sound is distorted. This is because there is still

water remaining in and around the speaker and microphone. Just shake the handset to clear excess water, and the sound should return to normal.

Is the Base Waterproof?

The base is not waterproof: it is water resistant. The cradle uses a special method called magnetic inductive charging, so it can charge your handset without exposing any electronic components. (You may notice that the charging contacts are enclosed in plastic and there is no metal showing.) This charging method makes the cradle safe to use near water or in highly humid environments, but is it not designed to be submerged in water.

If the base falls into water, unplug it ( both the AC adapter and the telephone cord) before attempting to remove it from the water. Allow the cradle to dry completely before reconnecting the power.

Accessibility

Uniden provides a customer service hotline for accessibility questions. If you have a disability and need customer service assistance or if you have any questions about how Uniden’s products can accommodate persons with disabilities, please call the accessibility voice/TTY line: 1-800-874-9314.

Our customer care hours as well as accessibility information can be found on our website, www.uniden.com, under the “Accessibility” link. If your call is received outside of our business hours, you can leave us a message and we will call you back.

Choosing the Best Location

When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:

Installing the Phone

Notes: For maximum range:

Keep both the base and handset antennas free of obstruction.

• When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position.

• Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.

•

Installing the Phone

Activate the Handset

Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 6V jack on the bottom of the base.

Don’t put any power cord where it people might trip over it or step on it. If a power cord becomes chafed or worn out, it can create a fire or electrical hazard.

Connect the AC adapter to a standard 120V AC wall outlet.

Before charging the battery for the first time, push the activation pin, located on the bottom of the handset (see label with instructions).

Once you activate the handset, remove the label.

Before charging the battery for the first time, push the activation pin, located on the bottom of the handset (see label with instructions).

Once you activate the handset, remove the label.

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack already installed in the handset’s battery compartment.

Note: Use only the Uniden BT-1008 rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone.

Connecting the AC Adapter

To the base

To avoid risk of re and shock, only use the Uniden PS-0012 AC adapter with the base.

Charging the Handset

If your phone came with more than one handset, connect each charging cradle to power with its AC adapter. Place each handset in its charging cradle with the display facing forward. Make sure that the charge LED illuminates.

Make sure that the charge LED illuminates when the handset is seated.

Place the handset in the base cradle with the display facing forward.

Charge each handset for at least 25 hours before connecting the phone line.

What if the charge LED doesn’t light up?

Reseat the handset in the cradle. Check the AC adapter connection. Make sure you are not using an outlet that's controlled by a wall switch.

Installing the Phone

Connecting to the Phone Line

Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged.

Connect the telephone

cord to the TEL LINE jack on the bottom of the base.

Do you have DSL or any high-speed Internet service delivered through your phone line?

Try putting a DSL  lter between the base and the wall jack. Without a  lter, telephone-line-based Internet

services can interfere with standard phones.

Connect the

telephone cord to a telephone wall jack.

What if CHECK TEL LINE appears on the handset display?

The telephone cord may not be connected

correctly. Check the telephone cord connection.

Testing the Connection

Pick up the handset from the cradle and press /Flash. You should hear a dial tone, and the display should show TALK.

What if I can’t hear a dial tone? Check the telephone cord connection on the base.

What if the display doesn’t show TALK?

Make sure the battery pack is fully charged.

• Make sure the AC adapter cord is securely connected to

• the DC IN 6V jack and a standard power outlet. Try resetting the handset (see page 49).

• Check the battery pack connection in the handset (see

• page 44).

Make a quick test call, and then press to hang up.

Installing the Phone

Note: Make sure you can get a dial tone on any accessory handsets that were packaged with your phone.

What if there is a lot of static? Check the sources of interference described in Choosing the

Best Location (see page 6): is the base near any of those?

What if the call doesn’t go through?

Try changing the dialing mode (see the next section).

Installing the Phone

Changing the dial mode

Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These days, most base networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode. If you don’t get a dial tone or can’t connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:

Press Menu/Select.

1) Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the DIAL MODE

2) submenu.

Scroll to high light PULSE.

3) Press Menu/Select. You will hear a conrmation tone.

If you ever need to change the dial mode back to tone dialing, follow the same procedure, but select TONE in step 3.

NOW YOU ARE READY TO USE YOUR PHONE!

Installing the Belt Clip

Insert the tabs on the sides of the belt clip into the holes on either side of the handset. Press the belt clip down until it clicks into place. (Tug on the clip to make sure it’s secure.)

To remove the belt clip, gently pull the tabs out of the holes, then slide the belt clip off of the handset.

Expanding Your Phone

Adding accessory handsets

Your phone supports a total of six cordless handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone. You can now place a fully-featured cordless handset anywhere AC power is available to connect the charging cradle.

Your phone is compatible with the following Uniden DECT6.0 accessory handsets: DCX200, DCX300 and

•

DWX207. (Please visit our website at www.uniden.com for the most up-to-date list of compatible handsets.) If you purchase any accessory handsets separately, you must register the handsets to the base before you can

•

use them. (Accessory handsets that come packaged with a base are already registered to that base.)

Registering accessory handsets

When charged, registered handsets display a handset ID number. Handsets that have not been registered display:

↔

To register an accessory handset:

Charge the handset completely. (DCX200 and DCX300 handsets need to charge for 15-20 hours. DWX207

1) handsets need to charge for at least 25 hours.)

Installing the Phone

Disconnect the base AC adapter. Then press and hold Find while you reconnect the adapter. Keep pressing

Find

until the charge LED starts to blink.

On the handset, press and hold # until the handset beeps and displays HANDSET REGISTERING.

3) When the handset has registered to the base, the LCD will display REGISTRATION COMPLETE then show the

4) handset ID number.

If the display shows REGISTRATION FAILED, repeat the process again. Note: If a handset has ever been registered to a base, reset the handset before you register it to a new base (see

Resetting the Handset on page 49). Or to use multiple bases, see the next section.

Installing the Phone

Using Multiple Bases

The handsets supplied with your phone can be registered to a total of four different bases. Compatible bases include the DECT1500 series, the DECT2000 series, the DECT3000 series and the WXI2077 series. Once your handset is registered to more than one base, you can set the handset to search automatically the available base, or you can select manually which base the handset should connect to (for example, if you have one base with an answering machine, you can tell the handset to connect that base to check messages).

Note: To conrm how many bases the handset is registered to, open the SELECT BASE submenu (follow the step

1 of Selecting the base on page 14). Press to close the list and return to standby.

Registering the handset to another base

To register a handset to another base:

Make sure the handset battery is fully charged.

1) If the other base has an LCD display:

With the phone in standby, press Menu/Select on the base. Move the cursor to select the REGISTER

• HANDSET menu, and then press Menu/Select. HANDSET REGISTERING will appear.

If the other base does not have an LCD display:

Disconnect the base AC adapter. Then press and hold nd hs, nd or Find while you reconnect the adapter.

• Keep pressing nd hs, nd or Find until the charge LED starts to blink.

On the handset, press Menu/Select. Select the REGISTER BASE menu. HANDSET REGISTERING will

3) appear in the display. (After step 2, you have thirty seconds to complete this step 3 before the system returns to standby.)

Wait approximately thirty seconds. REGISTRATION COMPLETE will be displayed to indicate the handset has

4) been registered to the base and a handset ID will be automatically assigned.

If REGISTRATION FAILED appears in the LCD, please try these steps again.

Selecting the base

When your handset is registered to another base, it will automatically connect to the base. A base ID (that is for the handset only) will be assigned in the order of registration. You can either select a base you want to use manually, or set to AUTO. If you set to AUTO, when the handset comes out of range, it searches automatically the available base in order of base ID.

With the phone in standby, press Menu/Select. Select the HANDSET SETUP menu, and then the SELECT

1) BASE submenu.

Move the cursor to select the base you want to connect to, or choose AUTO to have the handset automatically

2) select the base.

Press Menu/Select. SEARCHING will appear in the display.

3) When the base is found, the handset will return to standby. If the base is not found, “SEARCHING” continues

to appear. You can repeat the procedure listed above to return back to the original connection or to nd the

different base.

Note: You cannot change bases during a call.

You lose a handset and purchase a new one.

• You get the message Registration Failed when you try to register the handset.

• You are unable to register any handsets to the base.

• When you register new handsets to the base, the handset IDs do not match. (For example, the handset registers

• as “Handset #4” but you only have two handsets.) When you are instructed to by one of Uniden’s call center representatives.

•

Select the base you want to de-register the handset from (see Selecting the base on page 14).

Press and hold and # for more than ve seconds. Select DEREGISTER HS.

Select the handset which you are operating, and then press Menu/Select.

The phone will ask you to conrm the deregistration. Select YES. The selected handset will clear its registration

information only from the base it is currently connected to, and then delete the link to the base from its own memory.

When the base information is deleted, the handset displays HANDSET NOT REGISTERED-PLACE HANDSET

ON BASE TO REGISTER. SEE YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL FOR HELP. Re-register the handset to the base (see Registering accessory handsets on page 12).

If the handset cannot contact the base, it will display OUT OF RANGE. Make sure the handset is in range of the base and the base is connected to power; you can also reset the handset without the base (see the next section).

Resetting the Handset Without the Base

If your original base is not available for some reason, you can still reset the handset and use it with another base.

Press and hold and # for at least ve seconds.

Move the cursor to select BASEUNAVAILABLE and then press Menu/Select.

Select the base which you want to de-register from, and then press Menu/Select. BASE UNAVAILABLE

appears. Move the cursor to select YES, and then press Menu/Select. You hear a conrmation tone, and the handset

deletes its own base information without contacting the base. If the handset was registered to only one base, it displays HANDSET NOT REGISTERED-PLACE HANDSET ON BASE TO REGISTER. SEE YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL FOR HELP. If the handset is still registered to another base, it searches for the other base and then returns to standby.

Troubleshooting

Changing the Line Mode for Multiple Extensions

Line mode refers to the method that telephones use to signal each other that an extension is in use. Customer service may recommend changing the line mode if you have any of the following problems:

Your phone keeps ringing after someone answers on an extension phone.

• Your answering system doesn’t stop recording when you answer on an extension phone.

•

Caller ID displays briey and then clears.

•

If you have multiple bases, select the base that is having problems (see page 14).

Press Menu/Select.

Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the SET LINE MODE submenu.

IF INSTRUCTED BY CUSTOMER SERVICE PRESS SELECT appears. Press Menu/Select.

Move the cursor to select TYPE - A, TYPE - B, or OFF.

Press Menu/Select. You will hear a conrmation tone.

Traveling Out of Range

When the handset is in standby, the handset will display OUT OF RANGE. During a call, if you move your handset too far from your base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limit of the

base, the handset will beep, display OUT OF RANGE, and then go to standby. The base will maintain the connection for thirty seconds after the handset goes out of range. If you move the handset back within range of the base within thirty seconds, press /Flash or to pick up the call again.

Note: If it is set to automatically select the available base, the handset will begin searching for another base thirty

seconds after going out of range. (see Selecting the base on page 14).

Liquid Damage

Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone.

If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the exterior plastic housing is affected, wipe off

• the liquid, and use as normal. If moisture or liquid has entered the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can be heard in the phone or liquid has entered the

• handset battery compartment or vent openings on the base), follow the steps below:

Handset Base

Remove the battery cover and leave it off for

1) ventilation.

Disconnect the battery pack. Leave the battery

2) cover off and the battery pack disconnected for at least 3 days.

Once the handset is completely dry, reconnect the

3) battery pack and the battery cover.

Recharge the handset’s battery pack for at least 25

4) hours before using.

Troubleshooting

IMPORTANT: You must unplug the telephone line while recharging the battery packs to avoid charge interruption. CAUTION: DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up the drying process. This will cause permanent

damage to the handset, base and the microwave oven. After following these steps, if your cordless telephone does not work, please call our Customer Service Hotline (see the back cover page).

Disconnect the AC adapter from the base, cutting

1) off electrical power.

Disconnect the telephone cord from the base.

2) Let dry for at least 3 days.

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 identier

in the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

An applicable Universal Service Order Codes (USOC) certication

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 ve (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 telephone provider. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part

of the product identier 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 possible. Also,

you will be advised of your right to le 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 modications

to maintain uninterrupted service.

Precautions!

Should you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact Uniden customer service at 800-297-1023. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

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 modications 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.

Precautions!

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 qualied installer.

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, uorescent 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. 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.

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 accomplished 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.
