The TRU446 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 TRU446 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.

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 22.)
1) When the phone is in the standby mode, press menu/mute.
2) Press - 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 + or - to change the selection.
5) Press select/ch and a confirmation tone will sound.
6) Press end to exit.
Terminology

Tone Dialing Switch-over
• The tone feature
only applies when
the dial mode is set
to pulse.
• This special number
can be stored in a
memory location.
This is referred to as
Chain Dialing (See
page 30.)
Some telephone companies use equipment that requires pulse dialing (sometimes
referred to as rotary dialing). If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can switchover to tone dialing during the call. For example, entering your bank
account number after you have called your bank.
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call
connects, press tone. Enter the desired number. These digits will be
sent as tone dialing. 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

and damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.
The FCC Wants You To Know
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by

detailed by the owner’s manual, could void your authority to operate
this product. Your telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You
must, upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the
REN to your telephone company. Both numbers are on the base unit.
Note:
You must not connect your phone to:
• coin-operated systems
• most electronic key telephone systems
FCC RF Exposure Information
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of
the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326
adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines
and these international standards.

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: Evidence of original purchase is required for
warranty service.
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.
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 owner’s manual for this product.
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.
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.
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 and Canada.
PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING PERFORMANCE OF WARRANTY: If, after
following the instructions in the owner’s 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:
