B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset
The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges
automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit.
Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before using your new cordless
telephone for the first time! To maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack, DO NOT
plug the telephone cord into the base unit and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.
NOTE: If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, be
sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm
equipment. If you have questions about what will disable your
alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified
installer.
1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the finger
indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.
2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the small,
black jack inside the battery compartment (the connector notches fit
into the grooves of the jack only one-way). Match the wire colors to
the polarity label in the battery compartment, connect the battery and
listen for a click to insure connection.
3) Make certain you have made a good connection by slightly pulling on
the battery wires to insure that there is a secure connection.
If the battery connector is not securely connected, the handset will
not charge properly.
4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset by sliding it
upwards until it clicks into place.

Low Battery Alert
When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is programmed to
eliminate functions in order to save power. If the phone is not in use, the talk/batt low LED
flashes when the battery pack is low.
If the phone is in use, the talk/batt low LED flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your
conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base for charging.
Cleaning the battery charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging
contacts on both the handset and base unit once a month.
Use a dry cloth or a pencil eraser to clean. If the contacts
become very dirty, using water only, dampen a cloth to clean
the charging contacts. Then make sure to go back over the
charging contacts with a dry cloth before returning the handset
to the base to charge.
NOTE: Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a
long period of time. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the
base unit after each telephone call.

and a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
2) Wrap the cord inside the molded wiring channel
as shown.
3) Set the base unit on a desk or tabletop, and
place the handset in the base unit.
4) Make sure the charge/in use LED illuminates.
If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that
the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset
makes good contact with the base charging
contacts.
NOTICE: Place the power cord so it does not create a trip hazard or where it could
become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.
NOTE: • Use only the supplied AD-446 AC adapter. Do not use any other AC
adapter.
• Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply.
• Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter
easily.
After installing the battery pack in the handset, charge your handset at least 15-20
hours before plugging into the phone line. Once the handset battery pack is fully
charged, connect the telephone line cord to the base and telephone wall outlet.
EXP3240 12/18/2 11:06 AM Page 4
5) Connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE
jack and a telephone outlet once the handset is
fully charged.
TIP:
If your telephone outlet isn’t
modular, contact your telephone
company for assistance.

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) Press and hold flash until you hear a confirmation tone.
2) To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press #. Or to set the dial mode for tone dialing,
press /tone. 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 dialing system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones
for certain situations during a call, you may “switch-over” to tone dialing (Refer to “Tone
Dialing Switch-over”).
NOTE: Make sure your battery pack is fully charged before choosing the dial mode.

Terminology
Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below is the
terminology explanation.
• Talk Mode - The handset is off the base and talk has been pressed enabling a dial
tone.
• Standby Mode - The handset is not in use, off the base, and talk has not been pressed.
A dial tone is not present.
Adjusting the Ringer and Earpiece Volume
Ringer tone
When the phone is in standby mode, pressing the vol/ring key on the handset selects the
handset ringer tone. There are two ringer tones. Continue pressing the vol/ring key to
listen to all tones. The phone keeps the last ringer tone setting selected.
Earpiece volume
The handset earpiece volume settings (Low, Medium and High) can only be adjusted during
a call. Press the vol/ring key repeatedly to select Low, Medium and High. When you hang
up, the phone keeps the last volume setting selected.
Ringer Mute
The end key can be used to temporarily mute the ringer tone. When the handset is off the
base and the phone is ringing, press the end key and the ringer tone will be temporarily
silenced. The ringer tone will return to normal starting with the next incoming call.
Tone Dialing Switch-over
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 switch-over 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. This special number can be stored in a
memory location. This is referred to as Chain Dialing. Once the call
ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.
NOTE: The tone feature only applies when the dial mode is set to pulse.
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
1 minute.
Selecting a Different Channel
If you encounter interference while using your phone, you can manually change the phone’s
channel for clear operation. This function works only when the phone is in use.
Press channel. The talk/batt low LED flashes, indicating the phone is changing to another

to the base.
Flash and Call Waiting
If you have “Call waiting” service and a call waiting tone sounds
while you are on a call, press flash to accept the waiting call. There
is a short pause, then you will hear the new caller. To return to the
original caller, press flash again.
NOTE: You must subscribe through your local telephone company to
receive Call Waiting Service.
Storing a Phone Number in Memory

or
5) Press memory location (0-9) on the keypad to store a number.
A tone indicates that the number is stored. If you enter a number in a location that has a
previously stored number it will overwrite the existing number without warning.
NOTES: • The pause button counts as one digit. Pressing redial/p more than once
increases the length of pause between numbers.
• You have 30 seconds after pressing mem to enter the number you wish to store.

EXP3240 12/18/2 11:06 AM Page 7
One-touch Rocket Dial
Your phone is equipped with “One-touch Rocket Dial” for instant
dialing. It is used to dial the phone number stored in the one-touch
Rocket Dial location (See “Storing a Phone Number in Memory”).
To instantly dial the phone number stored in the one-touch Rocket Dial
location, simply press Rocket Dial. (There is no need to press talk.
The phone will automatically dial). If you press Rocket Dial and a
phone number is not stored in the one-touch Rocket Dial location, the
phone will beep rapidly and will not dial.
Chain Dialing
The memory locations on the handset are not limited to phone numbers. You can also store
a group of numbers (up to 20 digits) that you need to enter once your call connects. This is
referred to as Chain Dialing.
An example of this is a bank account number. Once you have called your bank, and are
prompted to enter the account number, simply press mem and the location number (0-9) where
the special number has been stored.
Store your special number in memory as you would store a phone number (Refer to
“Storing a Phone Number in Memory”).
Erasing a Stored Number from Memory
1) Remove the handset from the base unit.
2) Press mem twice.
3) Press Rocket Dial or the memory location (0-9). A tone indicates that the stored number
is erased from memory.
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. In the rare
situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is using the same security code, you
can change the code.
1) Remove the handset from the base unit. Press and hold find handset on the base.
2) The handset begins emitting a paging sound. While holding find handset for at least 3
seconds, place the handset in the base unit. The paging sound stops. Leave the
handset in the base for more than 3 seconds. A new random security code is set.
NOTE: If the handset battery pack is completely discharged or the battery pack is removed,
the digital security code will be lost. If this happens, a new security code is set
automatically next time the battery pack is charged.

of this phone is meant to be used as a means of comparison
EXP3240 12/18/2 11:06 AM Page 10
against other range claims.
Connecting the Telephone Cords
Telephone Line Problems
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone
cords:
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.
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 back of the base.
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.
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.

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.
Uniden America Corporation
Parts and Service Division
4700 Amon Carter Blvd. Fort Worth, TX 76155
(800) 297-1023, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central, Monday through Friday
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.
