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:
• 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 Switchover” on page 25.)
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.

The headsets will be used to make or receive a call. With these headsets, you can have
the convenience of hands free communication while using your cordless phone. Two types
of headsets are included, an over the head and an over the ear type.
Make sure you have installed one of the headsets before making or receiving a call.
Over the Head Type (HS910)
1) Place the headset on your head so the speaker covers
your ear. The other end of the headset should rest
comfortably against the side of your head above your
ear. Do not place the end of the headband against the
other ear.
2) The microphone arm swings over the top of the headset
so you can wear the headset on the left or right ear.
Position the flexible arm so the microphone is about 2
inches away from your mouth.
3) To use the headset, pull back the headset cover and plug
the headset cord into the 2.5mm jack on the top of the
handset. This will automatically disable the speaker on
the phone and activate the microphone on the handset.

Changing the Digital Security Code
The digital security code is an identification code used to connect the handset and
the base unit. Normally, setting the code is not necessary. The first time you charge
your handset, the security code is automatically set. (See “About the digital security
code”, page 8.) In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is
using the same security code, you can change the code. To change the digital
security code, deregister the code, then register a different code.
Deregister the Security Code
1) Remove the handset from the base. In the standby mode, press and hold
DEL/TRANS and END until you hear a confirmation tone.
2) Press UP to select “Yes”, then SELECT/CH . You will hear a confirmation tone, and
“Deregistration Complete” appears.
• If you have not pressed any key for 30 seconds while in the de-registering operation, the
phone returns to the standby mode.
• While in de-registering operation, if you receive an incoming call, page, or transferring call, or
charge the handset, or press TALK/FLASH or END , the operation is canceled .
• While in de-registering operation, if you receive CIDCW when the speakerphone is used, the
operation is cancelled.

Telephone Line Problems
Installation Considerations
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.
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.
Selecting a Location
Important:
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.
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:
Caution!
• 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.
