INTRODUCTION/FEATURES[ 4 ]
The TRUC46 series features include AutoTalk™ and AutoStandby™. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call
by just removing the handset from the base so you don’t have to waste time pushing buttons.
AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the base.
To protect you against mis-billed calls, which might result from your phone being activated by other
equipment, the TRUC46 series has Random Code™ digital security, which automatically selects one of
over 65,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Also, AutoSecure™ electronically locks your
phone when the handset is in the base.
RocketDial™ is a one touch speed dial key that automatically dials your most important or frequently
called number. The number dialed, is a preset number stored by the user.
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.
Be sure to visit our web site: www.uniden.com

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:
1) When the phone is in the standby mode, press MENU/MUTE.
2) Press UP or DOWN to move the pointer to “Dial Mode”.
3) Press SELECT/CH and the display will show the current setting.
(The initial setting is Tone.)
4) Press UP or DOWN to change the selection.
5) Press SELECT/CH, and you will hear a confirmation tone.
6) Press END to exit.
Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below is the
terminology explanation.
Standby Mode - The handset is not in use, is off the base, and TALK/FLASH has not been
pressed. A dial tone is not present and the display is blank.
Talk Mode - The handset is not on the base and TALK/FLASH has been pressed enabling a dial
tone. “Talk” appears on the display.
Terminology
• 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 25.)

Important Electrical Considerations
Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is
approaching. Lightning can pass through your household wiring and
damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.
WWaarrnniinngg!!
Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an
electrical storm.
The FCC Wants You To Know
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 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 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.
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.

PRECAUTIONS & WARRANTY[ 50 ]
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.
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.
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.
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.
More than One Cordless Telephone
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.
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.
Installation Considerations
Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some
important guidelines you should consider:
• 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.
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.
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.
Connecting the Telephone Cords
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the
telephone cords:
CCaauuttiioonn!!
•Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected.
•Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
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.
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.
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.
