Frequently Asked Questions - DCT 5260-2 UNIDEN

How long should I charge the batteries before first use?

Charge the batteries continuously for 17-20 hours before using the phone. After that, regular charging takes place when the handset is placed in the base.

How do I register an extra handset to the base?

After charging the extra handset for 17-20 hours, place it in the base unit. Registration will start automatically. You will see "Handset Registering" on the display, and when complete, "Registration Complete" appears.

Can I use the phone during a power outage?

No, the phone requires AC power to operate. During a power failure, you will not be able to make or receive calls.

How do I set the language on the display?

Press the MENU soft key, select "Handset Setup", then "Language". Choose from English, French, or Spanish using the volume keys and press OK.

What is the DirectLink mode and how do I use it?

DirectLink mode allows two handsets to work as transceivers for direct communication without using the base. To use it, enter the "DirectLink Mode" menu and press ENTER on both handsets. Then press the DirectLink soft key and select the other handset number.

How do I clean the phone?

For light dirt, wipe with a soft dry cloth. For heavy dirt, use a cloth dampened with diluted neutral detergent, then dry with a dry cloth. Clean the charging contacts monthly with a dry cloth or pencil eraser.

Why doesn't the handset ring when a call comes in?

Check that the ringer volume is not set to Off. Ensure the handset is within range of the base. Also, the batteries may need charging. If the problem persists, try deregistering and registering the handset again.

Welcome

Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden DCT5260 series Multi Handset Cordless System telephone. This unit is different from conventional cordless telephones. When the base unit is connected to AC power and a telephone line, it can support up to 8 handsets. Using extra handsets, you can establish a 3-way conference call (2 handsets and an outside line), while two other handsets are making an intercom call. You can now place a fully featured cordless handset anywhere in your home or office where AC power is available to connect the handset chargers.

Note: Some illustrations in this manual may differ from the actual unit for explanation purposes.

As an Energy Star® Partner, Uniden has determined that this product or product models meets the Energy Star® guidelines for energy efficiency. Energy Star® is a U.S. registered mark.

WELCOME/FEATURES [3]

The DCT5260 series features include AutoTalk™ and AutoStandby™. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing the handset from the cradle so you don't have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the cradle.

To protect you against mis-billed calls, which might result from your phone being activated by other equipment, the DCT5260 series has Random Code ^™ digital security, which automatically selects one of over approx. 130,000 digital security codes for the handset and base.

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology improves calling range and clarity, and eliminates cross talk. Because it rapidly changes transmission frequencies within the 2.4GHz bandwidth, this cordless phone helps reduce the possibility of eavesdropping.

DirectLink mode is used when you have 2 or more handsets. You can use your handsets as transceivers.

GETTING STARTED [11]

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone 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.

Setting up the Phone

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location C. Connect the base unit
B. Install the AA batteries into the handset D. Choose the dialing mode

A. Choose the best location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read "Installation Considerations" on page 58. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:

B. Install the AA batteries into the handset

Charge the batteries for at least 17-20 hours before plugging the phone line into your base unit.

1) Press down on the battery cover release and slide the cover down until it comes off.

2) Install the batteries supplied with your phone, observing correct + - polarity.

3) Securely close the battery compartment cover by sliding it up until it snaps into place.

4) Place the handset in the charging cradle with the keypad facing up.

The DCT5260 series will only work with "AA" Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. If you use any other type of batteries, the display will show "Use rechargeable battery only".

Battery use time (per charge)

Fully charged (17-20 hours charge time)

- Up to 7 hours continuous use

- Up to 14 days when the handset is in the standby mode

- Use only "AA" rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. Do Not use Alkaline, Lithium, or non-rechargeable batteries. To insure maximum performance and safety, use replacement batteries specifically matched for this phone, contact www.uniden.com. Using incorrect batteries could damage or limit the performance and could cause bodily injury. - Recharge your phone on a regular basis by returning the handset to the cradle after each phone call.

GETTING STARTED [13]

Low battery alert

When the batteries are very low and need to be charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power.

The batteries need to be charged when:

- The battery icon appears.

- "Low Battery" appears in the display.

If the phone is in the standby mode, none of keys will operate. If you are on a call, complete your conversation as quickly as possible, and return the handset to the cradle.

Cleaning the battery charging contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging contacts on both the handset and the base unit once a month. Use a dry cloth or pencil eraser to clean. If the contacts become very dirty, using water only, dampen a cloth to clean the charging contacts. Then make sure to go back over the charging contacts with a dry cloth before returning the handset to the base to charge.

C. Connect the base unit

1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet.

2) Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the base unit as shown on page 15.

3) Make sure the charge LED illuminates. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and that the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.

• Use only the supplied AD-800 AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.
• Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply.
• Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily.
• While charging, all handset keys will be disabled.

- After installing the batteries in the handset, charge your handset at least 17-20 hours before plugging into the phone line.

4) Once the handset batteries are fully charged, connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and to a telephone outlet. Route the cord.

If your telephone outlet isn't modular type, contact your telephone company for assistance.

Modular

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 dial mode. To set the dial mode, see "Setting the Dial Mode" on page 24.

• 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 30.)

Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.

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 complies 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 against other range claims.

PRECAUTIONS & WARRANTY [57]

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.

- 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 17-20 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.
