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.  
DirectLinkTM Mode is used when you have 2 or more handsets. You can use your handsets as transceivers.

Cleaning the battery charging contacts  
To maintain a good charge, it is important to  
clean the charging contacts on both the  
handset and the base unit once a month.  
Use a dry cloth or pencil eraser to clean. If

3) Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the base unit as shown.  
4) 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-830 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 Modeon 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-overto tone dialing. (Refer to Tone Dialing  
Switch-overon page 34.)

Direct wall plate mounting  
If you dont 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.

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  
owners 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 owners 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.
