[ 4 ] INTRODUCTION/FEATURES[ 4 ]

The TRU448 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 TRU448 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:

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.

Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below is the

terminology explanation.

Standby Mode - The handset is not in use, is off the base, and talk/flash has not been

pressed. A dial tone is not present and the display is blank.

Talk Mode - The handset is not on the base and talk/flash has been pressed enabling a dial

tone. “Talk” appears on the display.

Terminology

•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 Switch-

over” on page 24.)

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. 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

30 seconds.

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.

Warning!

Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an

electrical storm.

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. The equipment cannot be used on public coin phone

service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party line

service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the state public utility

commission, public service commission or corporation commission

for information.)

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 against other range claims.

accompanying the appliance.

PRECAUTIONS &

WARRANTY

TRU448_OM 4/9/02 12:19 PM Page 63

PRECAUTIONS & WARRANTY[ 64 ]

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 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.
