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.

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.

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

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.
4)
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.
13
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
2)
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:
2)
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.

• 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
4)
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.
