increases the length of pause between numbers.
• You have 30 seconds after pressing mem to enter the number you wish to store.
Otherwise, the handset will beep rapidly.
• Memory location for the Rocket Dial is independent from the memory location for
Memory Dial.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
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.
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. Your telephone compiles 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
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
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.

against other range claims.
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:
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.
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.
