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 identifier in the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. If
requested, this number must be provided to the telephone
company.
An applicable Universal Service Order Codes (USOC)
certification 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 five (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 identifier 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 file 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 modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
Please follow instructions for repairing, if any (e.g. battery
replacement section); otherwise do not substitute or repair any
parts of the device except as specified in this manual.

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.

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. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
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.
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.

Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
<<add pix here>>
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not connected to a
switch).
• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and
fluorescent lighting.
• For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be 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 qualified installer.
Note: For maximum range:
• Keep the antenna free of obstruction.
• When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position.
• Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal. <<Insert picture like TRU8885 OM, page 9>>
• Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.
Installing the Rechargeable Battery

Follow the steps below to install a battery:
1) Press in on the handset battery case cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.
2) Place the battery pack in the battery compartment with the connectors on the battery and on the compartment aligned.
3) Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.
{ILLUSTRATION}
Connecting the Base and Charging the Handset

Page 5 of 23
4) 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.
5) Charge your handset at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line.
{ILLUSTRATION}
Installing the Belt Clip

{ILLUSTRATION}
Testing the connection
To test your connection, try making a call. If your call connects, the settings are fine. If your call does not connect, check the
following:
1) Check the AC adapter cord. Make sure it is securely connected to the DC IN connector and to a standard AC power outlet.
2) Check to make sure the battery is fully charged. (If you don't see the "battery full" icon, check to make sure the battery is
properly connected.
3) Change dial mode (instructions below).
Changing the Dial Mode
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These days, most
phone 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 cannot connect to the telephone network, please
follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
1) Press the MENU soft key. Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the DIAL MODE submenu.
2) Scroll [down]
3) Press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.
If you ever need to change the dial mode back to Tone, follow the same procedure, but select TONE in step 2.
to select PULSE. (The initial setting is Tone).
Basic Setup
Selecting a Language
Your phone supports three languages: English, French and Spanish. Once you select a language, the menus on the phone will
display in that language. The default language is English.
