Installing Your Phone
Set Up the Base
Attach the stand
Before you attach the stand, you have to decide if you want the phone to rest on a desk or hang on a wall.
For desktop use
- Turn the stand so the word DESK is right-side up (it will be on the right).
- Insert the tabs into the notches marked DESK at the top of the base.
- Press in on the latch and slip it into the notch.
For wall mount use
- Turn the stand so the word WALL is right-side up (it will be on the right).
- Insert the tabs into the notches marked WALL at the bottom of the base.
- Press in on the latch and slip it into the notch.
To remove the stand
Press in on the latch and slide it out of the notch.
Connect the corded handset
Use the coiled cord to connect the corded handset to the connector on the left side of the base.



For wall mount use only
- On the front of the base, pull the clip (that holds the corded handset in place) out of its slot.
- Rotate the clip 180 degrees.
- Flip it from front to back and slide it back into the slot.

Connect the power and telephone cords
- Connect the base AC adapter to the AC IN 7.8V jack and the telephone cord to the TEL LINE jack. Route the cords as shown:


- Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120 V AC power outlet, and connect the telephone cord to a standard telephone wall jack.
Place the phone on the wall
Place the mounting slots over the pins on the wall plate, and slide the
base down to lock it into place.

Test the Connection
Pick up the corded handset from the base. You should hear a dial tone and the display on the base should say Talk. When you get a dial tone, make a quick test call.
| If... | Try... |
| the display says Check Tel Line or you don't hear a dial tone | checking the connection between the base and the phone jack. |
| you keep hearing a dial tone | changing to pulse dialing (see page 4). |
| there's a lot of noise or static | see page 27 for tips on avoiding interference. |
Set Up the Accessory Handset(s)
If your phone came packaged with accessory handsets, follow the steps below to get your cordless handsets ready for use.
Install the battery
- Unpack all handsets, battery packs, and battery covers. If any handset has the battery cover already attached, press in on the notch and slide the cover down and off.
- Line up the red and black wires on the battery pack with the label inside the handset.
- Push the battery pack connector in until it clicks into place. Tug gently on the wires to make sure the battery pack is securely connected.



- Place the cover over the battery compartment and slide it up into place.
Connect the charger
- Connect a charger AC adapter to each charger's AC IN 8V jack
and set the plug into the notch as shown. (These adapters might already be connected.) - Plug the other end of the adapter into a standard 120V AC power outlet.
- Place each handset in a charger with the display facing forward. The CHARGE light should turn on.

| If... | Try... |
| the CHARGE light doesn't turn on | - reseating the handset. - checking the AC adapter connection. - seeing if the outlet is controlled by a wall switch. |
Charge all handsets completely (about 15 hours) before using them.
Test the connection
Pick up each handset and press TALK. You should hear a dial tone, and the display should say Talk. (Press END to hang up.)
If you can't get a dial tone or the handset display says Unavailable, try moving the handset closer to the base or resetting it (see page 28).
Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing
Phones can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone (DTMF) or pulse dialing. If you know your phone company uses pulse dialing or you can't make your test call, follow these steps:
- With the phone in standby, press MENU/SELECT on a cordless handset. (You must use a cordless handset for this procedure.)
- Use UP or DOWN to highlight Global Setup, then press MENU/SELECT.
- Use UP or DOWN to highlight Dial mode, then press MENU/SELECT.
- Highlight Pulse, then press MENU/SELECT. The phone sounds a confirmation tone. Try making another test call.
If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones during a call (if you're using an automated response system, for example), press to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.

| #OO | (Handset only) The battery is 1) fully charged, 2) half charged, 3) getting low, or 4) empty. |
Using the Menu
The menus are designed to be as easy as possible. Some users don't even need the manual once they know how to perform these actions:
| Open the menu | Press MENU/SELECT. |
| Move the cursor | The arrow cursor on the left side of the line shows which menu item is currently highlighted. Use UP to move the cursor up & DOWN to move it down. |
| Select an option | Move the cursor to highlight the option, then press MENU/SELECT. |
| Go up one screen | Press PHONEBOOK/LEFT. |
| Close the menu | On the handset, press END; on the base, press PLAY/STOP. (If you open the menu during a call, use PHONEBOOK/LEFT to back out of the menu without hanging up.) |
If you don't press any keys for thirty seconds, the phone times out and exits the menu. (When setting the day and time, the time-out period is extended to two minutes.)

| VMWI Reset | Reset the voice message waiting indicator to bring it back into sync with your voice mail service (see p. 20). |
| Call Blocking | Block unwanted calls from up to 20 phone numbers and manage your call block list (see p. 19). |
| Base Language | Change the display language. |
| Register Handset | Register additional handsets to the base or re-register a handset that you had to reset for some reason (see "Resetting and Registering Handsets" on page 28). |
Using the Handset Menus
Handset Setup
You can change these settings separately for each cordless handset.
| T-coil | Turn on T-coil mode to reduce noise on some hearing aids (see "Do you use a T-coil hearing aid?" on p. 27). |
| Ringer Tones | Choose one of four melodies or three tones for the handset's main ring tone. As you highlight each ring tone, the phone plays a sample of the tone. When you hear the tone you want, press MENU/SELECT. |
| Personal Ring | Turn on the personal ring feature. If you have Caller ID, this feature lets you assign special ring tones to anyone in your phonebook: this handset will use the special ring tone when that person calls. |
| Autotalk | Turn on Auto Talk so you can answer the phone just by picking up the handset from the cradle (without having to press any buttons). |
| Any Key Answer | Turn on Any Key Answer so you can answer the phone by pressing a key on the twelve-key dial pad. |
| Banner | Change the name used on the handset's display. |
| Handset Language | Change the display language. |
| Key Touch Tone | Have the keypad sound a tone when you press a key. |
Ans. Setup
This menu controls the options and settings for your answering system (see "Ans. Setup menu options" on page 21).
Day & Time
You need to set the day & time so messages get the right time stamp.
- Use UP & DOWN to choose the day of the week; press MENU/SELECT.
- Use the number keypad to enter the hour and minutes.
- Use UP & DOWN to select AM or PM; press MENU/SELECT.

The settings on this menu apply to all cordless handsets and the base. Before changing these settings, make sure the phone is in standby and all handsets are within range of the base. (Only one handset at a time can change these settings.)
| Area Code | Enter your area code so the phone hides the area code on incoming local calls (see "Using Seven-digit Dialing" on p. 14). |
| Dial Mode | Change the way your phone communicates with the telephone network (see "Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing" on p. 4). |
| Set Line Mode | Do not change this setting unless instructed to by customer service. |
Call Blocking
This menu lets you block unwanted calls from up to 20 phone numbers and manage your call block list (see p. 19).
Entering Text on Your Phone
When you want to enter text into your phone (for example, a name in the phonebook), use the twelve-key dial pad to enter the letters printed on the number keys. Here's how it works:
The phone enters the letters in the order they appear on the key. For example, if you press the number key 2 once, the phone enters the letter A. Press 2 twice for B, and three times for C.
If you press the key again after the last letter, the phone starts the same letter sequence with small letters. If you press 2 four times in a row, the phone enters a (small letter). Press 2 five times for b , and six times for c .
If you see the icon [Aa] in the display, the phone enters capital letters first (A B C), then small letters (a b c), then the number on the key (2). The icon [aA] means the phone starts at the small letters, so it enters small letters first, then the number on the key, then capital letters.
The phone automatically uses a capital letter for the first letter and any letter right after a space; all other times, it uses small letters.
If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the first letter, then use CALLER ID/RIGHT to move the cursor to the next position to enter the second letter.
| Switch between capital & small letters | Press ★. |
| Move the cursor | Press PHONEBOOK/LEFT to move the cursor to the left or CALLER ID/RIGHT to move the cursor to the right. |
| Leave a blank space | Press POUND (#). |
| Erase one letter | Move the cursor to the letter you want to erase and press CLEAR (CLEAR/INTERCOM on the handset; CLEAR/MUTE on the base). |
| Erase the entire entry | Press & hold CLEAR. |
| Enter punctuation or a symbol | Press 0 to rotate through the available symbols. |

Using Caller ID and Call Waiting
You have to subscribe to Caller ID, Call Waiting, and Caller ID on Call Waiting services to use the features described in this section: contact your telephone provider for more information.
When a call comes in, the phone displays the caller's number and name (if available). The phone saves the information for the last 30 received calls to the CID list. When it's in standby, the phone displays how many calls came in since the last time you checked the CID list.
| Open the CID list | Press CALLER ID/RIGHT. |
| Scroll through the CID list | Press DOWN to scroll through the list from newest to oldest. Press UP to scroll from oldest to newest. |
| Close the CID list | Press PHONEBOOK/LEFT. |
Dialing from the Caller ID list
- Find the entry you want to dial.
- If the number is a toll or long distance call, but there's no 1 at the front of the CID record, press to add the 1.
- On the handset, press TALK/FLASH to dial the number. On the base, pick up the corded handset.
(You can also press TALK/FLASH or pick up the corded handset before opening the CID list. Find the number you want to dial, then press MENU/SELECT.)
Caller ID menu options
With the phone in standby, open the CID list and find the number you want. Press MENU/SELECT to open the Caller ID menu; choose one of these options:
| Delete Entry | Erase this Caller ID number. |
| Store Into Pb | Add this number to this station's phonebook. The phone prompts you to enter a name & edit the number; cordless handsets also prompt you to choose a personal ring. |
| Delete All | Erase this station's CID list. (This does not affect the CID lists saved on any other stations.) |
| Add Call Block | (Handset only) Add this number to your call block list (see page 19). |
Using Call Waiting
If you get a Call Waiting call, the phone sounds a tone and displays any CID information received for the waiting call. Press FLASH (TALK/FLASH on a handset) to switch between your current call and the waiting call; remember, each time you switch, there is a short pause before you're connected to the other caller.
Using Seven-Digit Dialing
If you can make a local call by dialing only seven digits instead of ten, you can tell the phone to hide your local area code in the CID list.
Do not enter an area code if your phone company requires ten-digit dialing. You might not be able to dial from the CID list.
- With the phone in standby, open the menu and select Global Setup, then select Area Code.
- Use the number keypad (0 - 9) to enter your three-digit area code.
- Press MENU/SELECT when you're finished.
The phone uses the programmed code as a filter. When calls come in, the phone compares the area code to the programmed one. If they match, the phone hides the area code in the CID list.
While reviewing the list, press # to toggle the area code off & on.
Using the Phonebook
Each station can store up to 70 entries in its phonebook.
| Open/close the phonebook | Press PHONEBOOK. |
| Scroll through the entries | Press DOWN to scroll through the phonebook from A to Z or UP to scroll from Z to A. |
| Jump to entries that start with a certain letter | Press the number key corresponding to the letter you want to jump to. |
| Dial an entry | 1. Find the entry you want to dial. 2. On a handset, press TALK/FLASH. On the base, pick up the corded handset. |
Phonebook menu options
Open the phonebook with the phone in standby, then press MENU/SELECT to open the phonebook menu. Choose one of these options:
| Create New | Add an entry to your phonebook. The phone will prompt you to enter the name & phone number. (Cordless handsets will also prompt you to choose a personal ring.) |
| Copy All | Copy the whole phonebook to another station. (You must have at least one accessory handset to use this multi-station feature.) |
| Delete All | Erase all the entries in this station's phonebook. (This does not affect the entries saved on any other stations.) |
Phonebook entry options
With the phone in standby, open the phonebook and find the entry you want. Press MENU/SELECT to open the individual phonebook entry menu. Choose one of these options:
| Edit | Edit this entry. The phone will prompt you to enter the name & phone number. (Cordless handsets will also prompt you to choose a personal ring.) |
| Copy | Copy this entry to another station. (You must have at least one accessory handset to use this multi-station feature.) |
| Delete | Erase this entry. |
Chain Dialing
If you often have to enter a series of digits or a code number during a call, you can save that code number to a phonebook entry and use the phonebook to send the code number.
Enter the code number (up to 20 digits) into the phonebook just like a regular phonebook entry. Be sure to enter the code number into the phonebook exactly as you would enter it during a call.
When you hear the prompt that tells you to enter the number, open the phonebook and find the entry that contains your code number. Press MENU/SELECT to transmit the code. The phone transmits the code number exactly as you entered it in the phonebook. Or, if you change your mind, use PHONEBOOK/LEFT to close the phonebook.
Finding a Lost Handset
With the phone in standby, press FIND HANDSET/INTERCOM on the base. Select the handset you want to find, or select All to page all handsets at the same time. The paged handset(s) will beep for 1 minute or until you press FIND HANDSET/INTERCOM again or press TALK/FLASH followed by END on the handset.
Using Multi-station Features
The expandable base works together with the accessory handsets to give you some useful multi-station features. (A station can be any cordless handset or the base.) You must have at least one accessory handset to use the features in this section.
Expanding Your Phone
Your base supports a total of six DCX210 accessory handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone.
Your base might be compatible with other Uniden accessory handsets: please visit our website for a list of compatible handsets.
Accessory handsets must be registered to the base before you can use them. Handsets that aren't registered display a Handset not registered message. For instructions on registering handsets to this base, see page 28 or the manual for the accessory handset.
Any accessory handsets that came packaged with the base are already registered to that base for you.
If a handset was previously registered to a base, you have to reset it so you can register it to a new base (see page 28 for DCX210).
Using Conference Calling
When an outside call comes in, the base and two cordless handsets can join in a conference call with the outside caller. To join the call, just pick up the base corded handset or press TALK/FLASH on a cordless handset. To leave the conference call, hang up normally; the other station
remains connected to the call. (You can also use the speakerphone for a conference call, just like you can with a normal call.)

Using Special Features
Using Your Phone During a Power Failure
Because it includes a corded handset, your phone can perform several of its functions during a power failure. The following features will operate during a power failure (all other features are disabled):
Making and receiving calls with the base corded handset.
Changing the volume on the corded handset.
Using Call Waiting on a base corded handset call.
Entering pauses when dialing from the base corded handset.
While the power is out, the base uses a special ringer; you cannot adjust the volume of this ringer.
Using Do Not Disturb
The Do Not Disturb or DND feature turns off the ringers of the base and all handsets at the same time.
With the phone in standby, press and hold DO NOT DISTURB on the base. The phone automatically turns on the answering system and shows Do Not Disturb in the display on all stations.
To cancel, press DO NOT DISTURB again.
If you turn the answering system off while DND is on, the phone turns off DND along with the answering system.
Using Call Block
If you subscribe to Caller ID, you can save phone numbers to the call block list. When a call comes in, the phone compares the received phone number to the numbers on the call block list. If the phone number is on the list, the phone replaces the caller's name with Call Blocked and disconnects the call. (The caller hears a reject tone.)
The call block list holds 20 entries, and all stations share the same list. You can add entries through the Call Blocking menu, by selecting Add Call Block in the CID menu, or by blocking incoming calls. (Only one station can edit the call block list at a time.)
Blocking incoming calls
When the phone rings, wait until the display shows the Caller ID information (usually after the second ring). If you want to block the
call and add this number to the call block list, press BLOCK. When the phone asks you to confirm, press MENU/SELECT or BLOCK.
Blocking an incoming call from an "Unknown" or "Private" number is the same as selecting Unknown Number or Private Number from the Call Blocking menu.
Call Blocking menu options
With the phone in standby, open the menu and select Call Blocking.
Choose one of these options:
| View Number | See the numbers on your call block list. |
| Create New | (Handset only) Add an entry to your call block list. The phone will prompt you to enter a name & phone number. |
| Private Number | (Handset only) Block all calls from numbers reported by CID as "Private." (This does not count as one of the 20 entries.) |
| Unknown Number | (Handset only) Block all calls from numbers reported by CID as "Unknown". (This does not count as one of the 20 entries.) |
Call block entry options
With the phone in standby, open the call block list and find the entry you want. Press MENU/SELECT to open the individual entry menu.
Choose one of these options:
| Edit | (Handset only) Edit this entry. The phone will prompt you to edit the name & phone number. |

Weak or Hard To Hear Audio
If a caller's voice sounds weak or soft, the signal might be blocked by large metal objects or walls; you might also be too far from the base, or the handset's battery may be weak.
Try moving around while you're on a call or moving closer to the base to see if the sound gets louder.
Make sure the handset's battery is fully charged.
Try adjusting the earpiece volume or the audio tone (see below).
Adjust the audio tone
During a call, open the menu and select Audio Tone. Choose one of the three audio tone options: High Tone, Natural Tone (recommended for hearing aid users), or Low Tone. You may have to experiment to figure out which audio tone works best for you.
Noise or Static On The Line
Interference is the most common cause of noise or static on a cordless phone. Here are some common sources of interference:
electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens
computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL modems
radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers
large fluorescent light fixtures (especially if they give off a buzzing noise)
other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems, intercom systems, or broadband Internet service
Using T-coil mode can shorten the handset's talk time; make sure to watch the battery status and keep the battery charged.
Do you use a T-Coil hearing aid?
If you have a hearing aid equipped with a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the interaction between the hearing aid & digital cordless phones can cause noise in the handset. If you have a T-coil hearing aid & you have problems with noise on the line, try turning on T-coil mode. Open the menu. Select Handset Setup, then select T-coil.
Here are some hints for when the static is...
| on 1 handset or in 1 location: | on all handsets or in all locations: |
| - Check nearby for one of the common interference sources. - Try moving the handset away from a suspected source, or try moving the suspected source so it's not between the handset & the base. - Try moving closer to the base. There is always more noise at the edges of the base's range. If the handset displays an Out of Range message, you need to move closer to the base. | - Check near the base for the source of interference. - Try moving the base away from a suspected source, or turn off the source if possible. - If the base has an adjustable antenna, try raising the antenna so it stands straight up. - If you have any service that uses the phone line, you might need a filter (see below). |
Installing a line filter or DSL filter
Sometimes, broadband Internet services that use the telephone line can interfere with phones. One of these services-DSL-often causes static on telephones. A DSL filter or telephone line filter usually solves
this problem. The technician who installed your DSL service might have left some filters for you; if not, call your DSL provider or look in
any electronics store.
Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and plug your phone's base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.

Resetting and Registering Handsets
If you are having trouble with a cordless handset or if you want to replace one, you need to clear the registration information from the base and the handset:
| Do you have the base the handset is registered to? | |
| Yes | No |
| 1. Press & hold END and # until the System Reset menu appears (about 5 seconds). 2. Select Deregister HS. The display lists all registered handsets. 3. Select the handset you want to reset. 4. When the phone asks you to confirm, select Yes. The handset clears its information from the base & deletes it own link to the base. | 1. Press & hold END and # until the System Reset menu appears (about 5 seconds). 2. Select Base Unavailable. 3. When the phone asks you to confirm, select Yes. The handset deletes its own link without contacting the base. |
When you reset a handset (or if you buy a new one), that handset displays a Handset Not Registered message. If you see this message on a handset, you need to register it to a base before you can use it.
Registering a handset
- On the base, open the menu and select Register Handset. The display should say Handset Registering.
- On the handset you want to register, press and hold POUND (#) until the handset display says Handset Registering (about 2 seconds).
- In about 30 seconds, the handset display should say Registration Complete. Press TALK/FLASH and make sure you get a dial tone.
| If... | Try... |
| - you don't hear a dial tone - the display says Registration Failed | Making sure the handset is fully charged, then start over at step 1. |
To register a handset to a different base, see the section "Expanding Your Phone" in the user's guide for the other base.
Handling Liquid Damage
Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone.
If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the exterior plastic housing is affected, wipe off the liquid, and use as normal.
If moisture or liquid has entered the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can be heard in the phone or liquid has entered the handset battery compartment or vent openings on the base), follow these steps:
| Handset | Base |
| 1. Remove the battery cover & disconnect the battery. 2. Let dry for at least 3 days with the battery disconnected and the cover off for ventilation. 3. After the handset dries, reconnect the battery pack and replace the cover. Recharge the battery fully (15-20 hours) before using. | 1. Disconnect the AC adapter to cut off the power. 2. Disconnect the telephone cord. 3. Let dry for at least 3 days before reconnecting. |
IMPORTANT: You must unplug the telephone line while recharging the battery pack to avoid charge interruption.
CAUTION! DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up the drying process. This will cause permanent damage to the handset, base and the microwave oven.
