B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset  
D. Choose the dialing mode  
A. Choose the best location  
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS  
included in the PRECAUTIONS.  
Here are some important guidelines you should consider:  
Avoid noise sources such as a window  
by a street with heavy traffic  
Avoid heat sources, such as  
radiators, air ducts, and sunlight  
Avoid microwave ovens  
Avoid television sets and  
Avoid excessive moisture,  
other electronic equipment  
extremely low temperatures,  
dust, mechanical vibration,

is not switchable.  
• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and  
fluorescent lighting.  
• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.  
B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset  
The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges  
automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit.  
Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before using your new cordless  
telephone for the first time! To maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack, DO NOT  
plug the telephone cord into the base unit and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.  
NOTE: 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 your alarm equipment, contact your telephone  
company or a qualified installer.  
1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the finger  
indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.  
2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the jack  
inside the battery compartment (the connector notches fit into the  
grooves of the jack only one-way). Match the wire colors to the  
polarity label in the battery compartment, connect the battery and  
listen for a click to insure connection.  
3) Before replacing the battery cover, make certain the battery pack is  
securely connected by slightly pulling on the battery wires. Then  
place the battery case cover back on the handset by sliding it  
upwards until it clicks into place.

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, the talk/batt low LED  
flashes when the battery pack is low.  
If the phone is in use, the talk/batt low LED flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your  
conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base for charging.  
NOTE: 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  
base unit after each telephone call.  
Dial mode setting, last number dialed and numbers stored in memory locations  
(including RocketDial), are retained for up to 1 minute while you replace the  
battery pack.  
Cleaning the battery charging contacts  
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging contacts on the  
handset once a month.  
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.  
Caution: Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other  
chemical products. Doing so may discolor the surface of the  
telephone and damage the finish.  
C. Connect the base unit  
1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack  
and a standard 120V AC wall outlet.  
2) Set the base unit on a desk or tabletop, and  
place the handset in the base unit.  
Route thhe cord.  
3) Make sure the charge/in use LED illuminates.  
If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that  
the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset  
makes good contact with the base charging  
contacts.  
NOTICE: Place the power cord so it does not  
create a trip hazard or where it could  
become chafed and create a fire or  
electrical hazard.  
NOTE: Use only the supplied AD-0001 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.  
After installing the battery pack in the handset, charge your handset at least 15-20 hours  
before plugging into the phone line.

4) Once the handset battery pack is fully charged,  
connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE  
jack and a telephone outlet.  
TIP:  
If your telephone outlet isn’t  
modular, 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 mode as follows:  
1) Press and hold the flash key until you hear a confirmation tone in standby mode.  
2) To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press the # key. Or to set the dial mode for tone  
dialing, press the /tone key. A confirmation tone sounds to indicate the setting is  
complete.  
NOTE: • Make sure your battery pack is fully charged before choosing the dial mode.  
• If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for tone dialing. Make a trial call. If  
the call connects, leave the setting as is. Otherwise set for pulse dialing.  
• If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones  
for certain situations during a call, you may “switch-over” to tone dialing (Refer to  
Tone Dialing Switch-over”).

Terminology  
Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below is the  
terminology explanation.  
Talk Mode - The handset is off the base and the talk key has been pressed, enabling a  
dial tone.  
Standby Mode - The handset may be sitting in or off the base, but is NOT in use. The  
talk key has not been pressed and there is no dial tone.  
Adjusting the Ringer and Earpiece Volume  
Ringer tone  
When the phone is in standby mode, press the v/ /vol key repeatedly to listen to the two  
ringer tone options. The last ringer tone selected/heard will be the phone’s ring tone setting.  
Earpiece volume  
The handset earpiece volume settings (Low, Medium and High) can only be adjusted during  
a call. Press the v/ /vol key repeatedly to scroll between and select the volume level that  
works best for you. When you hang up, the phone keeps the volume setting.  
Temporarily Mute Ringer  
If the handset is off the base, simply press the end key to temporarily mute the incoming  
ring. The ringer will sound with the next incoming call.  
Redial  
The redial/pause key redials the last number dialed.  
The redialed number can be up to 24 digits long.  
Tone Dialing Switch-over  
Some telephone companies use equipment that requires pulse  
dialing (sometimes referred to as rotary dialing). If you need to enter  
tone dialing digits, you can switch-over to tone dialing during the call.  
This feature is useful when you need tone dialing to use automated  
systems, 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 the /tone key. Enter the desired number. These  
digits will be sent as tone dialing. This special number can be stored  
in a memory location. This is referred to as “Chain Dialing”. Once the  
call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode  
resumes.  
NOTE: The tone feature only applies when the dial mode is set to pulse.  
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  
5 minutes.  
Selecting a Different Channel  
If you encounter interference while using your phone, you can manually change the phone’s  
channel for clear operation. This function works only when the phone is in use.  
Press the channel key. The talk/batt low LED flashes, indicating the phone is changing to  
another channel. For more information on interference, refer to “Precautions”.  
 
5
Find Handset  
To locate the handset (while it’s off the base), press the find hs key on the base. The handset  
beeps for 60 seconds.  
Paging is canceled when pressing any handset key, the find hs key on the base or the  
handset is returned to the base.  
NOTE: Paging is also canceled when the phone receives an incoming call.  
Flash and Call Waiting  
If you have “Call waiting” service and a call waiting tone sounds  
while you are on a call, press the flash key to accept the waiting call.  
There is a short pause, then you will hear the new caller. To return to  
the original caller, press the flash key again.  
NOTE: You must subscribe through your local telephone company to  
receive Call Waiting Service.  
Storing a Phone Number in Memory  
Your cordless phone has 1 RocketDial memory location and 10  
additional memory locations for storing important telephone numbers.  
You can store your most frequent dialed number in the one-touch  
RocketDial location.  
1) Press the m/mem key in standby mode. The talk/batt low LED  
flashes.  
2) Enter the phone number by using the keypad, /tone or #, up to  
20 digits. If a pause is needed during the dialing sequence, press  
the redial/pause key to insert a pause. Each pause counts as a  
digit and represents a two second delay in time between digits as  
they are sent.  
3) Press the m/mem key again.  
To actually store a number in its designated location;  
4) Press the RocketDial key.  
or  
4) Press memory location (0-9) on the keypad to store a number.  
A tone indicates that the number is stored. If you enter a number in a location that has a  
previously stored number, it will overwrite the existing number without warning.  
NOTE: • The pause key counts as one digit. Pressing the redial/pause key more than  
once increases the length of pause between numbers.  
• In memory storing operation, you must press a key within 30 seconds or the  
handset will beep rapidly and the phone will return to standby mode.  
• Memory location for the RocketDial is independent from the memory locations for  
Memory Dial.  
Dialing a Stored Number  
Using the memory location features  
1) Press the talk key in standby mode, then press the m/mem key.  
2) Enter the memory location (0-9) on the keypad. The stored number automatically dials.  
NOTE: If you select a memory location that does not have a stored number, the handset  
will beep rapidly and the phone will not dial.  
 
6
One-touch RocketDial  
Your phone is equipped with “One-touch RocketDial” for instant dialing.  
It is used to dial the phone number stored in the one-touch RocketDial  
location (See “Storing a Phone Number in Memory Dial”).  
To instantly dial the phone number stored in the one-touch RocketDial  
location, simply press the RocketDial key in standby mode. (There is  
no need to press the talk key. The phone will automatically dial). If you  
press the RocketDial key and a phone number is not stored in the  
one-touch RocketDial location, an error tone will sound and the phone  
will not dial.  
Chain Dialing  
The memory locations on the handset are not limited to phone numbers. You can also store  
a group of numbers (up to 20 digits) that you need to enter once your call connects. This is  
referred to as Chain Dialing.  
An example of this is a bank account number. Once you have called your bank, and are  
prompted to enter the account number, simply press the m/mem key and the location number  
where the special number has been stored.  
Store your special number in memory as you would store a phone number (Refer to  
“Storing a Phone Number in Memory Dial”).  
Erasing a Stored Number from Memory  
1) Press the m/mem key twice in standby mode.  
2) Press the RocketDial key or the memory location (0-9). A tone indicates that the stored  
number is erased from memory.  
Changing the Digital Security Code  
The digital security code is an identification code used to connect the handset and the base  
unit. Normally, setting the code is not necessary.  
The first time you charge your handset, the security code is automatically set. 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 base unit. Press and hold the find hs key on the base.  
2) While holding the find hs key, place the handset in the base unit. Leave the handset in  
the base for more than 3 seconds. A new random security code is set.  
NOTE: 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 next time the battery pack is charged.

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.  
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 back 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.  
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.  
I.C. Notice  
TERMINAL EQUIPMENT  
Notice: This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada  
Terminal Equipment Technical Specifications. This is confirmed by  
the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before the  
registration number signifies that registration was performed based  
on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada  
technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry  
Canada approved the equipment.  
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.  
Notice: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal  
equipment is marked on the equipment itself. The REN assigned to  
each terminal equipment provides an indication of the maximum  
number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone  
interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any  
combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the  
sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not  
exceed five.  
RADIO EQUIPMENT  
The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies  
that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.  
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.  
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this  
device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept  
any interference, including interference that may cause undesired  
operation of the device. “Privacy of communications may not be  
ensured when using this telephone.  
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.  
You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before  
completing the installation or using the handset.  
Telephone Line Outlets  
TMhoerdeualreartwJoatcykpes of phone outlets:  
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
