Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden DCT5260 series Multi Handset Cordless
System telephone. This unit is different from conventional cordless telephones.
When the base unit is connected to AC power and a telephone line, it can support up to
8 handsets. Using extra handsets, you can establish a 3-way conference call (2 handsets
and an outside line), while two other handsets are making an intercom call. You can
now place a fully featured cordless handset anywhere in your home or office where AC
power is available to connect the handset chargers.
Welcome

The DCT5260 series features include AutoTalk™ and AutoStandby™. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just
removing the handset from the cradle so you don’t have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows
you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the cradle.
To protect you against mis-billed calls, which might result from your phone being activated by other
equipment, the DCT5260 series has Random Code™ digital security, which automatically selects one of over
approx. 130,000 digital security codes for the handset and base.
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology improves calling range and clarity, and eliminates cross
talk. Because it rapidly changes transmission frequencies within the 2.4GHz bandwidth, this cordless phone
helps reduce the possibility of eavesdropping.
DirectLink mode is used when you have 2 or more handsets. You can use your handsets as transceivers.
Uniden® is a registered trademark of Uniden America Corporation.
AutoTalk, AutoStandby, DirectLink, and Random Code are trademarks of Uniden America Corporation.

3) Make sure the charge LED illuminates. If the LED does
not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is
plugged in and that the handset makes good contact
with the base charging contacts.
• Use only the supplied AD-800 AC adapter.
Do not use any other AC adapter.
• 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.
• While charging, all handset keys will be disabled.

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 dial mode. To set the
dial mode, see “Setting the Dial Mode” on page 24.
• 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
Switch-over” on page 30.)

The FCC Wants You To Know
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
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. Your telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must,
upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to
your telephone company. Both numbers are on the base unit.
Uniden works to reduce lead content in our PVC coated cords in our
products and accessories.
Note: You must not connect your phone to:
•
coin-operated systems
WARNING:
•
most electronic key telephone systems
The cords on this product and/or accessories contain lead, a chemical
known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
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.
C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the product does not operate normally when following the
operating instructions. (Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment
of other controls may result in damage and will often require
extensive repair work by a qualified technician.)
E. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has
been damaged.
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
13. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of
the leak.

Telephone Line Problems
Installation Considerations
Selecting a Location
One Year Limited Warranty
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.
Important:
Evidence of original purchase is required
for warranty service.
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some
important guidelines you should consider:
WARRANTOR: UNIDEN AMERICA CORPORATION (“Uniden”)
• 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.
• 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 17-20 hours before
completing the installation or using the handset.
ELEMENTS OF WARRANTY: Uniden warrants, for one year, to the
original retail owner, this Uniden Product to be free from defects
in materials and craftsmanship with only the limitations or
exclusions set out below.
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.
WARRANTY DURATION: This warranty to the original user shall
terminate and be of no further effect 12 months after the date of
original retail sale. The warranty is invalid if the Product is
(A) damaged or not maintained as reasonable or necessary,
(B) modified, altered, or used as part of any conversion kits,
subassemblies, or any configurations not sold by Uniden,
(C) improperly installed, (D) serviced or repaired by someone other
than an authorized Uniden service center for a defect or malfunction
covered by this warranty, (E) used in any conjunction with equipment
or parts or as part of any system not manufactured by Uniden, or
(F) installed or programmed by anyone other than as detailed by the
owner’s manual for this product.
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.
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.
STATEMENT OF REMEDY: In the event that the product does not
conform to this warranty at any time while this warranty is in
effect, warrantor will either, at its option, repair or replace the
defective unit and return it to you without charge for parts,
service, or any other cost (except shipping and handling) incurred
by warrantor or its representatives in connection with the
performance of this warranty. Warrantor, at its option, may replace
the unit with a new or refurbished unit. THE LIMITED WARRANTY
SET FORTH ABOVE IS THE SOLE AND ENTIRE WARRANTY PERTAINING
TO THE PRODUCT AND IS IN LIEU OF AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS,
IMPLIED OR ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT
COVER OR PROVIDE FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT OR PAYMENT OF
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Some states do not
allow this exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
Hardwired Jack
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.
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.
More than One Cordless Telephone
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
LEGAL REMEDIES: This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. This
warranty is void outside the United States of America and Canada.
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.
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.
PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING PERFORMANCE OF WARRANTY: If, after
following the instructions in the owner’s manual you are certain
that the Product is defective, pack the Product carefully
(preferably in its original packaging). The Product should include
all parts and accessories originally packaged with the Product.
Include evidence of original purchase and a note describing the
defect that has caused you to return it. The Product should be
shipped freight prepaid, by traceable means, to warrantor at:
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.
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.
