Just dial the access number supplied by your voice mail provider to enter your mailbox.

You can program your voice mail access number to a speed dial number.

If the voice mail waiting indicator remains on after you have retrieved your messages, press and hold the find hs key for 5 seconds. This will reset the indicator.

Using the Speed Dial Memory

The speed dial memory allows you to store up to 10 names and numbers in each handset. You can dial these numbers with just a few key presses.

The speed dial memory is not limited to phone numbers. You can store any number (up to 20 digits) that you need to enter once your call connects. This is referred to as Chain Dialing. For example, you can save your bank account number to speed dial memory. When you call your bank's telephone teller service and are prompted to enter your account number, simply press the memory key and the speed dial number where you stored your account number. Then press the select/channel key.

Storing Names and Numbers in Speed Dial Memory

1) With the phone in standby mode, press the memory key.
2) Enter 0-9 to select the speed dial number where you would like to store this entry. You can also scroll through the list with the ▲ and ▼ keys. Press the select/channel key twice.
3) Store Name appears and a cursor flashes indicating that the phone is ready for the name to be entered.

If the selected speed dial number is already assigned, the Edit screen appears. You can select Edit Memory to edit this entry, select Delete Memory to erase this entry, or select Go Back to choose another speed dial number.

Changing the Digital Security Code

To protect you against misbilled calls which might result from your phone being activated by other equipment, the cordless phone provides AutoSecure ^™ (which electronically locks your phone when each handset is in the cradle) and Random Code ^™ digital security which automatically selects one of over 262,000 digital security codes for each handset and the main base.

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 the next time the battery pack is charged. 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 cradle. Press and hold the find hs key on the main base.
2) While holding the find hs key, place the handset in the main base, and leave the handset in the main base for more than 3 seconds.
3) Remove the handset from the main base. Then place the second handset in the main base and wait for more than three seconds. No need to holding the find hs key this time.
4) Repeat step 3 for the rest of handsets.
5) Press the talk/flash key on one handset. Once you make sure Talk appears on the display, press the end key. Then, try with the all other handsets. If each handset displays Talk, a new security code is set. Otherwise, return to step 1 and try again.

Note on Power Sources

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, Low Battery appears on the LCD and none of the keys will operate. During a call, Low Battery flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the cradle for charging.

UNIDEN DXI 5586-3 - Low battery alert - 1

UNIDEN DXI 5586-3 - Low battery alert - 2

Information stored in the phone's memory will be retained for 30 minutes after the battery pack is removed. This includes all setup information, last number dialed, speed dial memory, and the CID list.

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 cradle after a telephone call.

Talk and Standby Times

With average use, your handset battery provides approximately 6 hours of talk time and approximately 10 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 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.

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.

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.
