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.

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read “Installation Considerations” on page 50. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:

Avoid heat sources, such as radiators, air ducts, and sunlight

Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment

Choose a central location

GETTING STARTED[ 10 ]

Avoid noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic

Avoid microwave ovens

Avoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock

Avoid personal computers

Avoid other cordless telephones

B. Install the battery pack

Charge the battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before plugging the phone line into your base unit.

1) Press down on the battery cover release and slide the cover

down until it comes off.

GETTING STARTED

2) Connect the battery pack connector observing the correct

polarity (black and red wires) to the jack inside the battery compartment.

Do not exert any force on this connection. It could cause damage to the battery or to the handset. The plastic connectors will fit together in only one way. Once you are certain that you have made a good connection, then insert the battery pack into the battery compartment. Do not pinch the wires.

3) Securely close the battery compartment cover by sliding it

up until it snaps into place.

4) Place the handset in the charging cradle with the keypad

facing forward.

• Use only the Uniden battery (BT-446) supplied with your phone.

Replacement batteries are also available through the Uniden Parts Department. (See page 9.)

• Recharge your phone on a regular basis by returning the handset to the base after each phone call.

GETTING STARTED [ 11]

Battery use time (per charge)

Fully charged

• 6 hours continuous use

• 10 days when the handset is in the standby mode

When you charge the handset, Caller ID summary screen and the name of the handset, HS1 appears. For TRU4465-2, if HS2 appears, you are charging the handset No.2.

Low battery alert

When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. If the phone is in the standby mode, ”Low Battery” appears on the LCD and none of the keys will operate. If the phone is in use, ”Low Battery” appears and the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base unit for charging.

The last number dialed in the redial memory is retained for up to 2 minutes while you replace the battery pack.

Cleaning the battery charging contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the battery contacts on the handset and base unit with a dry cloth or a pencil eraser about once a month. Do not use any liquids or solvents.

• Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply.

• Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC

adapter easily.

GETTING STARTED [ 13]

• If you are not sure of

your dialing system, set the unit to tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set the unit to pulse dialing.

• If your phone system

requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones in certain situations during a call, you may “switch-over” to tone dialing. (Refer to “Tone Dialing Switchover” on page 23.)

D. Choose the dialing mode

Most phone systems use tone dialing, which sends DTMF tones through the phone lines. However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the mode as follows:

1) When the phone is in the standby mode, press

2) Press

Terminology

Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below is the terminology explanation.

Standby Mode - The handset is not in use, is off the base, and talk/flash has not been pressed. A dial tone is not present and the display is blank. Talk Mode - The handset is not on the base and talk/flash has been pressed enabling a dial tone. “Talk” appears on the display.

[ 14 ] GETTING STARTED

Setting Caller ID Options

There are three Caller ID setup options available: AutoTalk, CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting), and Area Code. See page 16 for Area Code setup instructions.

AutoTalk allows you to answer the phone without pressing talk/flash. If the phone rings when AutoTalk is On, simply remove the handset from the base and the phone automatically answers the call. Or if the handset is not on the base, press any number key,

tone, or # to answer the call. If you set AutoTalk to Off, you must press talk/flash to

answer the call. Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) performs the same as regular Caller ID on a call

waiting number. CW Deluxe allows you to handle call waiting calls in seven different ways. (See page 39.)

You must subscribe to CIDCW from your phone company in order to use this feature.

The CW Deluxe is a separate service available through your phone company.

To change your Caller ID options:

1) When the phone is in the standby mode, press menu/mute.
