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 telephone unit.
Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone may not be
private.

Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Axis EP200 Telephone Internet
Appliance. The EP200 is the industry’s first Internet integrated cordless
speakerphone with E-Mail and Caller ID. You can use your EP200 to send and
receive E-Mail messages, keep important notes, and store important names,
addresses, and phone numbers. Caller ID provides you with caller information
before you answer the phone. The EP200 also provides the hands-free
operation of a speaker phone.

Aboutthe Internet
The Internet is basically a large group of computers tied together to share
information. It started as a military project back in the 1950’s, and has
progressed to a stand-alone network of Universities and independent sites. The
Internet is a huge repository of information, provided by countless millions of
people, and covering every subject imaginable.
Your new EP200 allows you to tap into one of the most useful aspects of the
Internet. Electronic Mail, or E-Mail for short, is a tool for sending letters and
messages to people all over the world via the Internet.
There are two ways you can get on the Internet with your new EP200 phone.
One is to use the automated sign-up feature to set up an account. See page 24.
The other is to use an account you already have, called an Internet service
provider, to access the Internet. See page 27. There are many different Internet
service providers on the market, from small to large. These include industry
giants, like Microsoft Network, as well as local providers, like Internet America.
You can find information on how to contact a service provider in most
newspapers, computer magazines, and even television commercials.
Again, if you would rather not hassle with setting up an account on your own,
just use the automated sign-up feature of your new phone. Whatever you
choose to do, it will be an experience well worth the effort. Welcome to the
Information Superhighway, and enjoy!

EP200, contact Uniden at 1-888-777-AXIS, or visit our Web site at

ChargingtheHandset
Place the handset on the base to charge. The Charge message appears on
the LCD. See page 17 for details.
Note: The handset must be fully charged before the phone will operate
properly. The battery included with your phone is not charged.
Allow 12 to 15 hours for the Handset to charge.
During this time you can use the speaker phone to make calls.
BatteryMemory Effect
Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory” (reduced charge capacity)
caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. The battery life will seem to
be shorter over time as you use the unit.
ToAvoidMemory Effect
At least once a month, operate the unit until the “Battery Low” indicator appears.
Avoid “topping off” the charge after using the phone for a short time. Also, do not
charge the Rechargeable Battery for extended periods of time.
LowBatteryIndicator
When the Battery Pack in the Handset is low and needs to be charged, the
talk/batt low LED flashes every 3 seconds.
If this occurs while you are on the phone, you hear an alert tone. Complete
your call as quickly as possible, and return the Handset to the Base Unit for
charging.
Allow 12 to 15 hours without any interruption for the Handset to fully
recharge.
