The TRU4465 series features include AutoTalk™ and AutoStandby™. AutoTalk allows you to answer a
call by just removing the handset from the base so you don’t have to waste time pushing buttons.
AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the base.

To protect you against mis-billed calls, which might result from your phone being activated by other
equipment, the TRU4465 series has

Random Code™ digital security, which automatically selects one
of over 65,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Also, AutoSecure™ electronically
locks your phone when the handset is in the base.

RocketDial™ is a one touch speed dial key that automatically dials your most important or frequently
called number. The number dialed, is a preset number stored by the user.

Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider frequency band” vs. a “single narrow band” used
in 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.

sent as tone dialing. Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and

Important Electrical Considerations

Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm
is approaching. Lightning can pass through your household wiring
and damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.

Warning!

Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an
electrical storm.

The FCC Wants You To Know

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. The equipment cannot be used on public coin phone
service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party line
service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the state public utility
commission, public service commission or corporation commission
for information.)

Range

Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range
by transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications
set forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a
maximum distance with the qualification that the range depends
upon the environment in which the telephone is used. Many factors
limit range, and it would be impossible to include all the variables
in our rating. The Maximum Range rating of this phone is meant to
be used as a means of comparison against other range claims.

PRECAUTIONS &

WARRANTY

PRECAUTIONS & WARRANTY [ 49 ]

Telephone Line Problems

The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect
service in the event that your phone causes problems on the
telephone line. Also, the telephone company may make changes in
facilities and services which may affect the operation of your unit.
However, your telephone company must give adequate notice in
writing prior to such actions to allow you time for making necessary
arrangements to continue uninterrupted service.
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first
disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your
problem. If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it
disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.

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.

More than One Cordless Telephone

If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home,
they must operate on different channels. Press the channel key to
select a channel that provides the clearest communication.

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.

Installation Considerations

Selecting a Location

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

• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous
power outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which
does not have a switch to interrupt its power.)

• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise
such as motors or fluorescent lighting.

• Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the base antenna.

• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a

standard telephone wall plate.

• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before
completing the installation or using the handset.

Telephone Line Outlets

There are two types of phone outlets:

Modular Jack

Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone
cords are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into
this type of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks,
contact your local telephone company for information about
their installation.

Hardwired Jack

Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types
of installations require a modular jack converter. This type of
installation is not difficult; however, you should contact your
Uniden telephone dealer or a telephone supply store for advice
about the proper adapter or converter for your particular situation.

Connecting the Telephone Cords

Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the
telephone cords:

Caution!

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the

telephone line has been disconnected.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Applying Power to the Base

This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt
power, and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug
when the phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord
around the strain relief notch on the bottom of the base.

NOTE: Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip

hazard, or where it could become chafed and create a fire
or other electrical hazards.

Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet.

Do not use an outlet controlled by a wall switch.

Use only the Uniden AC Adapter supplied with
this phone.
