Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden DCT5285 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 4 handsets. Using extra

handsets, you can establish a 4-way conference call (2 handsets-Base Speaker Phone-an

outside line, or 3 handsets-an outside line). Additionally, with 4-way conference using 2

handsets, another 2 handsets can establish 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.

The DCT5285 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

DCT5285 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^TMMode is used when you have 2 or more handsets. You can use your handsets as transceivers.

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 30.

• 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 34.)

Direct wall plate mounting

If you don’t have a standard wall plate, you can mount your base directly

to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location

that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.

• Try to mount your phone within 10 - 15 feet of a working phone jack to

avoid excessive cord lengths.

• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the

base and handset.

• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices

suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.

1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with

their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16

inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an inch

between the wall and screwheads for mounting

the base.

2) Refer to steps 1 through 7 on page 16 to mount

the base.

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

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.

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,

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.
