To insure the safety of users, the FCC has established criteria
for the amount of radio frequency energy various products may
produce depending on their intended usage. This product has
been tested and found to comply with the FCC’s exposure
criteria. For body worn operation, the FCC RF exposure
guidelines were also met when used with the Uniden
accessories supplied or designed for this product. Use of other

exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
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.
Radio Interference
I.C. Notice
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
Terminal Equipment
NOTICE:This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada
Terminal Equipment Technical Specifications. This is
confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC,
before the registration number signifies that registration was
performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that
Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not
imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.
NOTICE:The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this
terminal equipment is marked on the equipment itself. The
REN assigned to each terminal equipment provides an
indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be
connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an
interface may consist of any combination of devices subject
only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence
Numbers of all the devices does not exceed five.
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.
Radio Equipment
67
The term "IC:" before the radio certification number only
signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were
met. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device. "Privacy of
communications may not be ensured when using this
telephone".

Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
<>
•
•
•
•
•
The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not connected to a
switch).
The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and
fluorescent lighting.
For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be sure that installing the system does not
disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
Note: For maximum range:
• Keep the antenna free of obstruction.
• When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position.
• Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal. <>
• Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.
Installing the Rechargeable Battery
Use only the Uniden BT-446 rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone.
Follow the steps below to install a battery:
1) Press in on the handset battery case cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.
2) Place the battery pack in the battery compartment with the connectors on the battery and on the compartment aligned.
3) Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.

Setting up Voice Mail
If you subscribe to a voice mail service, you can use your phone to access your voice mailbox. The new message LED flashes
whenever you have messages waiting in your voice mailbox. If you have programmed your access number into your phone, you
can simply press the [ ] soft key to access your voice mail. When you subscribe to the service, your voice mail provider
provides you with the access number and the required voice mail signaling tone.
Setting the Voice Mail Signaling Tone
Your telephone service provider should provide you with the specifics of your voice mail service upon your enrollment. If you are
having trouble with your message waiting indicator on your phone not illuminating when you have waiting messages, you will
need to contact your service provider and inquire as to which type of message notification signal--either Frequency Shift Keying
(FSK) or Stutter Dial Tone (SDT)--their service uses.
If your voice mail service uses a FSK message signal to alert you of a new voice mail message, you will need to turn off the
Voice Mail Tone. If your voice mail service uses a SDT message signal to alert you of new voice mail messages, you can leave
the Voice Mail Tone on.
Follow the instructions below to set up your cordless phone settings:
1) Press the MENU soft key. Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, then the VOICE MAIL TONE submenu.
2) Move the cursor to YES to set the voice message indication (SDT message signal) to ON or OFF.
3) Press the OK soft key. You hear a confirmation tone.
Programming One-Touch Voice Mail Access
You can program your voice mail access number to the [ ] soft key on a station so you can get your messages at the touch of

Maintenance
Battery Replacement and Handling
With average use, your phone’s battery should last approximately one year. To order replacement batteries, please contact
Uniden’s Parts Department. The contact information is listed on the back cover page.
Cleaning the Battery Contacts
To maintain a good charge, clean the charging contacts on the handset once a month. Dampen a cloth with plain water. Gently
rub the damp cloth over the charging contacts until all visible dirt is removed. Dry the contacts thoroughly before returning the
handset to the charging cradle.
Caution: Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other chemical products. Doing so may discolor the surface of the
telephone and damage the finish.
Warning
To avoid the risk of personal injury or property damage from fire or electrical shock, use only Uniden AD-800 (9V 350mA) AC
adapter and Uniden BT-446 battery pack with your phone.
Caution:
• Use only the specified Uniden battery pack BT-446.
• Do not remove the batteries from the handset to charge them.
• Never throw the battery into a fire, disassemble, or heat them.
• Do not remove or damage the battery casing.
• A replacement Uniden adapter or battery may be purchased by calling Uniden's Parts department (see back cover page).
Low Battery Alert
When the battery pack is very low, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. When Low Battery
appears in the display and the phone is in standby, none of the keys will operate. If you are on a call, complete your
conversation as quickly as possible, and return the handset to the charging cradle.
The battery pack needs to be charged when the empty battery icon appears.
Talk and Standby Times
With average use, your handset battery provides approximately 5 hours of talk time and approximately 7 days of standby time.
When your handsets are not being used and are left off of their charging cradles, the battery will gradually discharge. You can
achieve optimum battery life and performance by returning the handset to the charging cradle after each use. If the handset is
Page 20 of 23
left off of the charging cradle, the actual talk time duration will be reduced respective to the amount of time the handset is off of
the charging cradle.
Troubleshooting
Resetting the Handset
You may need to reset your handset in the following instances:
•
•
•
•
You lose a handset and purchase a new one. When you try and register to your existing base you get registration
failure.
You are unable to register any handsets to the base.
You had a base which needed to be exchanged by the manufacturer. When you register your existing handsets to
the base, the handsets say #3 and #4, but you only have 2 handsets.
When you are instructed to by the one of the manufacturer’s call center representatives.
To reset, do the following:
1) Press and hold [ ] and [#] for more than 5 seconds. Select DEREGISTER HS.
2) The phone will ask you to confirm the deregistration. Select YES.
3) The handset will clear its registration information from the base, and then delete its own base information.
The handset MUST be placed in base to register! Models may vary; refer to Owners Manual for help. To re-register the handset
to the base (see page xx).
If the handset cannot contact the base, it will display OUT OF RANGE. Make sure the handset is in range of the base and the
base is connected to power.
Note: It is also possible to reset the handset back to its original factory settings. All changes including Caller ID information will
be erased. For more information on resetting the handset back to factory settings and when you need to do this, see
www.uniden.com or call our Customer Service Hotline (see back cover page for contact information).
Resetting the Handset without the Base
If your original base is not available for some reason (for example, it is lost or somehow incapacitated), you can still reset the
handset and use it with another base.
<>
1) Press and hold [ ] and [#] on the handset for more than 5 seconds.
2) Move the cursor to select the BASE UNAVAILABLE and then press the OK soft key. BASE UNAVAILABLE appears.
3) Move the cursor to select YES, and then press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone. The handset will delete its
own base information without trying to contact the base. When the base information is deleted, the handset displays MODELS
VARY! PLACE HANDSET ON THE BASE FOR REGISTRATION OR REFER TO OWNER’S MANUAL. Register the handset to
the new base (see page xx).
Changing the Digital Security Code
The digital security code is an identification code used to connect the handset and the base. Your unit ships from the
manufacturer with a preset security code. Resetting this code is not normally necessary. In the rare situation that you suspect
another cordless telephone is using the same security code or if you are instructed to change this code by a manufacturer’s Call
Center Representative, you can change the code by:
1. Perform “Resetting the Handset” for all of your handsets.
2. Re-register each handset by following the steps on page xx.
Traveling Out of Range
During a call, if you move your handset too far away from your base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limits of the base,
you will hear a beep and see out of Range on the display, and then the handset returns to standby. You may return to the call if
you move your handset within the range limits of the base and press [ / flash] or [ ] within 30 seconds.
