AutoTalkTM allows you to answer a call by just removing the handset from the base.  
AutoStandbyTM allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the base.  
Random CodeTM protects you against misbilled calls, which might result from your phone being  
activated by other equipment. Random Code digital security automatically selects one of approx.  
65,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Also, AutoSecureTM electronically locks  
your phone when the handset is in the base.  
Terminology  
Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider frequency band” vs. a “single narrow  
band” used in standard digital transmissions. The result is a more secure conversation with the  
clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones.

A. Choose the best location  
B. Install the battery pack  
C. Connect the base unit  
D. Choose the dialing mode  
A. Choose the best location  
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in  
the PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS brochure. Here are some important  
guidelines you should consider:  
Avoid heat sources, such as  
radiators, air ducts, and sunlight  
Avoid noise sources such as a window  
by a street with heavy traffic  
Avoid microwave ovens  
Avoid television sets and  
other electronic equipment  
Avoid excessive moisture,  
extremely low temperatures,  
dust, mechanical vibration, or shock  
Choose a central location  
Avoid personal computers  
Avoid other cordless telephones  
The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet that is  
not switchable.  
Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave  
ovens, and fluorescent lighting.  
Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.  
The base can be placed on a flat surface such as desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard  
wall plate.

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 mode as follows:  
Base Setting only  
note  
flash/set  
1 Press and hold  
until you hear a confirmation tone.  
Make sure your battery  
pack is fully charged  
before choosing the  
dialing mode.  
#
2 To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press  
. Or to set the dial  
mode for tone dialing, press  
. A confirmation tone sounds to  
indicate the setting is complete.  
If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for tone dialing. Make a  
trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set for  
pulse dialing.  
If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send the DTMF  
tones for certain situations during a call, you may “switch-over” to tone  
dialing (refer to “Tone Dialing Switch-over” on page 31).

Direct wall mounting  
If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone 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 5 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 screw  
heads for mounting the phone.  
2 Set the retainer clip if necessary.  
3 Refer to steps 1 through 4 on page 10 to mount  
the telephone.

Mute (Handset/Base)  
You can temporarily turn off the microphone so that the person you are

mute  
(handset) or

cancel muting.  
Selecting a Different Channel  
If you encounter interference while using your phone, you can manually  
change the phones channel for clear operation. Interference can come from  
appliances or other phone in your home (see Troubleshootingon page 57).  
Tone Dialing Switch-over  
Some telephone companies use equipment that require pulse dialing  
(sometimes referred to as rotary dialing). If you need to enter tone  
dialing digits, you can switch-over to tone dialing during the call. An  
example of this could be entering your bank account number after you  
have called your bank. The digits of your bank account can be entered  
using DTMF tones.  
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call  
connects, press  
. Enter the desired number (like in the example  
above, the bank account number). These digits will be sent as tone  
dialing. This special number can be stored in a memory location. This is  
referred to as Chain Dialing (See page 30). Once the call ends, the tone  
mode is canceled and pulse dialing resumes.

damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.  
Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium  
Batteries Must Be Recycled or  
Disposed of Properly  
Warning!  
Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical  
storm.  
The FCC Wants You To Know  
Uniden voluntarily participates in an RBRC® industry program to  
collect and recycle nickel-cadmium batteries at the end of their  
useful life, when taken out of service within the United States.  
The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing  
used nickel-cadmium batteries into the trash or municipal waste  
stream, which is illegal in some areas.  
Through the RBRC® program, Uniden makes it easy for you to  
drop off the used battery at local retailers of replacement nickel-  
cadmium batteries. You may also contact your local recycling  
center for information on where to return the used battery. Please  
call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling  
in your area. Uniden's involvement in this program is part of its  
commitment to protecting our environment and conserving  
natural resources.  
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 owners manual, could void your authority to operate  
this product. The equipment cannot be used on public coin phone  
service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party line  
service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the state public utility  
commission, public service commission or corporation commission for  
information.)  
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.  
RBRC® is a registered trademark of the Rechargeable Battery  
Recycling Corporation.  
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.)  
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.  
Telephone Line Problems  
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.  
E. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been  
damaged.  
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Radio Interference  
Telephone Line Outlets  
One Year Limited Warranty  
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.  
There are two types of phone outlets:  
Important:Evidence of original purchase is required for warranty  
Modular Jack  
service.  
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.  
WARRANTOR: UNIDEN AMERICA CORPORATION (Uniden)  
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.  
Hardwired Jack  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.  
More Than One Cordless Telephone  
Applying Power to the Base  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Adapter Safety Features  
If the AC adapter furnished with this phone has  
a polarized line plug (a plug having one blade  
wider than the other), this plug will fit into the  
power outlet only one way. If you are unable to  
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try  
reversing the plug.  
Installation Considerations  
Selecting a Location  
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some  
important guidelines you should consider:  
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.  
Do not alter the shape of the blades of the  
polarized plug!  
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.  
Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the base  
antenna.  
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 15-20 hours before  
completing the installation or using the handset.  
NOTE:  
If you cannot plug the AC adapter  
into the outlet, contact someone about replacing the  
outlet.  
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:  
Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet.  
Do not use an outlet controlled by a wall switch.  
Use only the Uniden AC Adapter supplied with this  
phone.
