Note: Make sure you can get a dial tone on any accessory handsets that were packaged with your phone.

Changing the dial mode

Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These days, most base networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone's dial mode. If you don't get a dial tone or can't connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone's settings:

1) Press [Select/menu].
2) Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the DIAL MODE submenu.
3) Scroll [▼] to highlight PULSE.
4) Press [Select/menu]. You will hear a confirmation tone.

Dial Mode OFF Pulse

If you ever need to change the dial mode back to tone dialing, follow the same procedure, but select TONE in step 2.

Installing the Belt Clip

Insert the tabs on the sides of the belt clip into the holes on either side of the handset. Press the belt clip down until it clicks into place. (Tug on the clip to make sure it's secure.)

To remove the belt clip, gently pull the tabs out of the holes, then slide the belt clip off of the handset.

Expanding Your Phone

Adding accessory handsets

Your phone supports a total of six cordless handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone. You can now place a fully-featured cordless handset anywhere AC power is available to connect the charging cradle.

  • Your phone is compatible with the following Uniden DECT6.0 accessory handsets: DCX200, DCX300 and DWX207. (Please visit our website at www.uniden.com for the most up-to-date list of compatible handsets.)
  • For instructions on connecting the charging cradle, see page 7.
  • If you purchase any accessory handsets separately, you must register the handsets to the base before you can use them. (Accessory handsets that come packaged with a base are already registered to that base.)

Registering accessory handsets

When charged, registered handsets display a handset ID number.

Handsets that have not been registered display as shown.

To register a DCX300 accessory handset:

1) Charge the handset for 15-20 hours.
2) Place the handset in the base cradle for about thirty seconds. HANDSET REGISTERING will appear in the LCD.
3) When the handset has registered to the base, the LCD will display REGISTRATION COMPLETE then show the handset ID number.

If the display shows REGISTRATION FAILED, repeat the process again.

To register a DCX200 or DWX207 accessory handset:

1) Charge the handset for 15-20 hours.
2) Disconnect the base AC adapter. Then press and hold [find] while you reconnect the adapter. Keep pressing [find] until the charge LED starts to blink.
3) On the handset, press and hold [#] until the handset beeps and displays HANDSET REGISTERING.
4) When the handset has registered to the base, the LCD will display REGISTRATION COMPLETE then show the handset ID number.

Handset not registered-Place handset on base to register. See your Owner's Manual for help.

If the display shows REGISTRATION FAILED, repeat the process again.

Note: If a handset has ever been registered to a base, reset the handset before you register it to a new base (see Resetting the Handset on page 55). Or to use multiple bases, see the next section.

Using Multiple Bases

The handsets supplied with your phone (or any DCX300 accessory handsets) can be registered to a total of four different bases. Compatible bases include the DECT2060, DECT2080, DECT2085, DECT2088, and DECT3080 models. Once your handset is registered to more than one base, you can set the handset to search automatically the available base, or you can select manually which base the handset should connect to (for example, if you have one base with an answering machine, you can tell the handset to connect that base to check messages).

Note: To confirm how many bases the handset is registered to, open the SELECT BASE submenu (follow the step 1 of Selecting the base on page 14). Press [1] to close the list and return to standby.

Registering the handset to another base

1) Make sure the handset battery is fully charged.
2) To register a handset to DECT2060, DECT2080 or DECT3080 base:

- Disconnect the base AC adapter. Then press and hold [find hs] or [find] while you reconnect the adapter. Keep pressing [find hs] or [find] until the charge LED starts to blink.

To register a handset to DECT2085 or DECT2088 base:

- With the phone in standby, press [Menu/Select] on the base. Move the cursor to select the REGISTER HANDSET menu, and then press [Menu/Select]. HANDSET REGISTERING will appear.

3) On the handset, press [Select/menu]. Select the REGISTER BASE menu. HANDSET REGISTERING will appear in the display. (After step 2, you have thirty seconds to complete this step 3 before the system returns to standby.)
4) Wait approximately thirty seconds. "REGISTRATION COMPLETE" will be displayed to indicate the handset has been registered to the base and a handset ID will be automatically assigned.

If the display shows REGISTRATION FAILED, repeat the process again.

Selecting the base

When your handset is registered to another base, it will automatically connect to the base. A base ID (that is for the handset only) will be assigned in the order of registration. You can either select a base you want to use manually, or set to AUTO. If you set to AUTO, when the handset comes out of range, it searches automatically the available base in order of base ID.

1) With the phone in standby, press[Select/menu]. Select the HANDSET SETUP menu, and then the SELECT BASE submenu.
2) Move the cursor to select the base you want to connect to, or choose AUTO to have the handset automatically select the base.
3) Press [Select/menu]. SEARCHING will appear in the display.
4) When the base is found, the handset will return to standby. If the base is not found, "SEARCHING" continues to appear. You can repeat the procedure listed above to return back to the original connection or to find the different base.

Note: You cannot change bases during a call.

Battery Information

Battery life

With average use, your handset battery provides more than ten hours of talk time and approximately seven days of standby time. You can achieve optimum battery life and performance by returning the handset to the base or charging cradle after each use. When your handset is left off of the cradle, the battery will gradually discharge even if the handset is not being used. The actual talk time duration will be reduced in proportion to the amount of time the handset is off of the cradle.

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 - CHARGE HANDSET appears in the handset 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 cradle.

The battery pack needs to be charged when the empty battery icon appears.

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.

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. 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.

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.
