Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing
Phones can communicate with the telephone network in two ways:

. The phone sounds a confirmation
tone. Try making another test call using line 1.
If your test call on line 2 did not connect, follow the same
LINe2
process, but press
in step 3.
If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones during a
call (if you're using an automated response system, for example),
press to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the
phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.

Entering Text on Your Phone
When you want to enter text into your phone (for example, a name
in the phonebook), use the twelve-key dial pad to enter the letters
printed on the number keys. Here's how it works:
The phone enters the letters in the order they appear on the key.
2
For example, if you press the number key once, the phone
2
enters the letter
A
. Press twice for
B
, and three times for
C.
If you press the key again after the last letter, the phone starts the
same letter sequence with small letters. If you press four times
2
2
in a row, the phone enters
and six times for
a
(small letter). Press five times for
b,
c
.
If you see the icon [Aa] in the display, the phone enters capital
letters first (A B C), then small letters (a b c), then the number on
the key ( ). The icon [aA] means the phone starts at the small
2
letters, so it enters small letters first, then the number on the key,
then capital letters.
The phone automatically uses a capital letter for the first letter and
any letter right after a space; all other times, it uses small letters.
If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the first

Using multi-station Features
The expandable base works together with the accessory handsets
to give you some useful multi-station features. (A station can be any
cordless handset or the base.) You must have at least one accessory
handset to use the features in this section.
Expanding Your Phone
Your base supports a total of ten DCX400 accessory handsets,
including any that were supplied with your phone.
Your base might be compatible with other Uniden accessory
handsets: please visit our website for a list of compatible handsets.
Accessory handsets must be registered to the base before you
can use them. Handsets that aren't registered display a Handset
not registered message. For instructions on registering handsets to
this base, see page 44 or refer to the manual that came with the
accessory handset.
Any accessory handsets that came packaged with the base are
already registered to that base for you.
If a handset was previously registered to a base, you have to reset
it so you can register it to a new base (see page 44 for DCX400
handsets).
Using multi-Station Conference Calling
When an outside call
comes in on either line,
the base and four
cordless handsets can
join in a six-way
conference call with the
outside caller.
To join a call in progress,
just connect to the active
LINe1

Weak or Hard To Hear Audio
If a caller’s voice sounds weak or soft, the signal might be blocked by
large metal objects or walls; you might also be too far from the base,
or the handset’s battery may be weak.
Try moving around while you’re on a call or moving closer to the
base to see if the sound gets louder.
Make sure the handset’s battery is fully charged.
Try adjusting the earpiece volume.
Noise or Static on The line
Interference is the most common cause of noise or static on a
cordless phone. Here are some common sources of interference:
electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens
computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL
modems
ꢃꢁ
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless
controllers, or wireless
Do you use a T-Coil hearing aid?
headphones or
speakers
large florescent light
fixtures (especially if
they give off a buzzing
noise)
other services that
use your phone line,
like alarm systems,
intercom systems, or
broadband Internet
service
If you have a hearing aid equipped with
a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the interaction
between the hearing aid and digital cordless
phones can cause noise in the handset. If
you have a T-coil hearing aid and you have
problems with noise on the line, try turning
on T-coil mode. Open the menu; select
Handset Setup, then select T-coil
.
Using T-coil mode can shorten the handset’
s talk time; make sure to watch the battery
status and keep the battery charged.
Here are some hints for when the static is...
on 1 handset or in 1 location:
on all handsets or in all locations:
-
Check nearby for one of the common
interference sources.
-
Check near the base for the
source of interference.
-
Try moving the handset away from a
suspected source, or try moving the
suspected source so it’s not between
the handset and the base.
Try moving closer to the base. There
is always more noise at the edges
of the base's range. If the handset
displays an Out of Range message,
you need to move closer to the base.
-
Try moving the base away from a
suspected source, or turn off the
source if possible.
If the base has an adjustable
antenna, try raising the antenna
so it stands straight up.
If you have any service that uses
the phone line, you might need a
filter (see below).
-
-
-
Installing a line filter or DSL filter
Sometimes, broadband Internet
services that use the telephone line
can interfere with phones. One of
these services−DSL−often causes
static on telephones. A DSL filter or
Telephone
wall jack
Telephone
cord
DSL filter
telephone line filter usually solves this problem. The technician who
installed your DSL service might have left some filters for you; if not,
call your DSL provider or look in any electronics store.

Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and plug your phone’s
base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.
resetting and registering Handsets

replace one, you need to clear the registration information from the
base and the handset:

Handling liquid Damage
Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone.
If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the
exterior plastic housing is affected, wipe off the liquid, and use as
normal.
If moisture or liquid has entered the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can
be heard in the phone or liquid has entered the handset battery
compartment or vent openings on the base), follow these steps:

Battery Information
Fully charged, the battery should provide about ꢀ0 hours of talk time and about ꢆ days of standby
time. For best results, return the handset to the cradle after each call to keep it fully charged.
Keep an eye on the battery status icon. When the battery gets too low, the handset shows a low
battery alert. If you hear a strange beep during a call, check the display: if you see the low battery
alert, finish your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the cradle. If the
handset is in standby, none of the keys will operate.

With normal use, the battery should last about one year. Replace the battery when the talk time
becomes short even when the battery is charged. To buy a replacement battery, call the Parts
Department listed on the front cover.
