Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF tones through the phone lines.

Make sure your battery pack is fully charged before choosing the dial mode.

Or to set the dial mode for tone dialing, press *

A conf irmation 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, other wise set for pulse dialing.

• If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones for cer tain situations during a call, you may "switch-over" to tone dialing.

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 inser ting screws into the wall.

• Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive 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) Inser t two mounting screws into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apar t. Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

Tone Dialing Switch-over

Some telephone companies use equipment that require pulse dialing (sometimes referred to as rotar y 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 af ter you have called your bank. The digits of your bank account can be sent using DTMF tones.

Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press

* //tto nee. 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 memor y location. This is referred to as Chain Dialing (See page 19.). Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.

Traveling Out-of-Range

During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base unit, noise increases. If you pass the range limits of the base unit, your call will terminate within 30 seconds.

The tone feature only applies when the dial mode is set to pulse.

Technical Information

nttss yyo u tto no w!!

Changes or modif ications 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. The equipment cannot be used on public coin phone service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party line service is subject to state tarif fs. (Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information.)

Below is some information that might concern you while using your new phone.

Raan gee

Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by transmitting and receiving according to the highest specif ications set forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximum distance with the qualif ication 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.

[ 40 ]

TTeelleep ho Prro mss

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 af fect 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.

If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must f irst 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.

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 T V, 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.

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 inter ference. If you cannot eliminate this type of inter ference, you need to change to a dif ferent channel.

Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause inter ference to nearby T Vs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such inter ference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a T V or VCR. If inter ference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone far ther away from the T V or VCR will of ten reduce or eliminate the inter ference.

ph nee

If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, they must operate on dif ferent channels. Press the channel key to select a channel that provides the clearest communication.

dlleessss TTeelleep ho

Cordless telephones are radio devices.

Communications between the handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcasted 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.
